Band ligation for acid reflux

This trial tests whether a Reflux Band™ placed around the upper swallowing tube area can reduce reflux (stomach acid coming up) in people who have had a lung transplant. If reflux is causing discomfort or lung irritation, reducing it may help you stay stable after transplant.

This trial tests a new way to treat GERD (chronic acid reflux) using a tiny camera and a device that delivers a gentle heat treatment (argon plasma coagulation) to the area where the stomach meets the esophagus. It's compared to a 'sham' procedure (you won't know which you get) to see if it stops acid from backing up better than medicine alone.

This trial tests a newer, less invasive surgical procedure called TIF (Transoral Incisional Fundoplication) for patients with severe acid reflux and regurgitation that hasn't improved with high-dose medications. The procedure is done through the mouth rather than the abdomen, and researchers will follow patients for 5 years to see if it works and is safe in Asian populations.

This trial tests whether speech and language therapy can help reduce bloating, belching, and other air-related symptoms in people with acid reflux (GERD). Researchers will measure how much the therapy improves these symptoms before and after treatment.

This trial compares the Stretta procedure to standard “conservative” treatment for people with ongoing GERD symptoms despite taking acid pills (PPIs). It aims to see whether Stretta can better control reflux and possibly help people stop or reduce PPIs safely.

This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. It aims to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for kids who have not had prior reflux surgery.
