Herbal formula plus standard treatment for GERD with depression
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese herbal formula (Zuojin Wan) combined with a standard treatment (Woonosan Fumarate) for people who have both GERD (chronic acid reflux) and mild depression. The goal is to see if the combination improves symptoms better than standard care alone.
