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 study tests whether a smartphone app and special pill bottle help people take their acid reflux medication more regularly over 90 days.
This trial tests a topical therapy you apply at night to see if it can improve sleep for people with non-erosive GERD who still have nighttime symptoms even while taking a morning acid reducer.
This study tests a smartphone app that helps people with GERD (acid reflux) remember to take their medication. If you have heartburn or regurgitation and use a smartphone, this app might make it easier to stay on track with your treatment.
This study tests whether using an “external Shaker pressure band” can reduce GERD symptoms that affect the throat and airway, like chronic cough, choking, or food coming back up. It also checks whether these people can safely tolerate the study measurements through the nose.
