New wearable device for GERD symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new wearable device (eGERD) that aims to reduce symptoms of GERD (heartburn and regurgitation). The trial will check if the device is safe and works well without needing medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 75 years old.
- You have had heartburn or regurgitation (food or liquid coming back up) at least 3 times a week for the past 3 months.
- You have had a special test (pH monitoring) in the last 2 years that shows your acid reflux is above a certain level, or your doctor has confirmed you have GERD based on your history.
- You are willing to use a smartphone app and follow the study instructions.
- You have not had surgery on your stomach or esophagus, and you do not have certain other medical conditions like severe heart disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or a history of stomach or esophageal cancer.

This study tests a new topical treatment for people with chronic heartburn and acid regurgitation who don't have erosions (damage) in their esophagus. The treatment is applied directly to the affected area and may help relieve symptoms without taking daily pills.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app called GERDCare helps people with GERD take their medications as prescribed. It may be a good fit if you have typical GERD symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and are comfortable using a smartphone app.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app called GERDCare can help people with GERD stick to their medication. It may be a good option if you have typical GERD symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and are comfortable using a phone app.
This trial compares a new device called RefluxStop to a standard surgery (Nissen fundoplication) for treating long-term acid reflux. It aims to see which one works better at stopping heartburn and other symptoms.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can help people with GERD or erosive esophagitis stick to their medicine better than just using the pharmacy records. You might join if you already take a daily proton pump inhibitor (like omeprazole or pantoprazole) and want to use an app for 90 days.
This study compares two ways of placing a reflux testing probe to find which works better for women and people with a lower body mass index. You may be able to join if you have typical heartburn or regurgitation symptoms and have not had stomach or esophagus surgery.
