Mucosal impedance test for GERD diagnosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to measure how your esophagus lining reacts to acid (called mucosal impedance) to help diagnose GERD. It's for people who still have symptoms even after taking standard medication for 8 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have heartburn or regurgitation that did not get better after 8 weeks of taking standard acid-reducing medicine (PPIs).
- You have had an upper scope (endoscopy) that showed no visible damage to your esophagus.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have other esophagus conditions, uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid problems, or cancer.

This study checks how well a swallowing test called high-resolution manometry works after partial anti-reflux surgery. It focuses on adults with certain abnormal esophagus muscle patterns to help doctors understand what to expect after the operation.
This trial uses a special device during an upper endoscopy to measure the electrical properties of the esophagus lining, which may help diagnose chronic reflux or swallowing problems.
This study tests a new sensor to check how healthy the lining of your esophagus is during a routine upper endoscopy. It may help researchers understand esophageal lining injury and how well it recovers over time.
This trial looks at how well a special test (pH-impedance) can diagnose GERD (acid reflux disease) when done correctly. It will use a new way to read the test results to see if it helps doctors classify GERD better.
This study checks whether a special test of the esophagus after meals can find the exact reason for ongoing reflux symptoms when proton pump pills (PPIs) don’t help. It may help doctors choose the right next treatment for people whose reflux symptoms keep coming back.
This study uses special probes to measure the movement and pressure in your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) to better understand swallowing problems like achalasia, GERD, and other conditions. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these issues.
