Optimizing PPI use through education and intervention
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether educating doctors can reduce unnecessary prescriptions of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs, a type of acid-reducing medicine). If you are an adult patient who has been prescribed a PPI that might not be needed, your doctor may join this study to improve your care.

This study tests whether it is safe and helpful to reduce or stop daily high-dose heartburn medications (called PPIs) in patients who might not need them anymore. It is for adults who take a strong PPI every day and can communicate in German.
This study looks at how proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a type of medicine that reduces stomach acid, affect the natural bacteria in the gut of children and teenagers. It may help us understand if PPIs change gut health, which could guide future treatment decisions.
This study tests if a tool in the electronic health record can help doctors prescribe proton pump inhibitors (medicines for heartburn) more effectively. It may lead to better treatment decisions for patients like you.
This trial tests whether giving doctors regular feedback can help reduce prescriptions of certain medicines (sleeping pills, acid reducers, and painkillers) that may be risky for older people. If you are 65 or older and take one of these medicines long-term, the study aims to improve your care by helping your doctor review if the medicine is still needed.
This study tests a patient-centered plan to safely reduce certain medicines that may cause side effects in older people who take many drugs. It aims to improve safety and comfort by lowering unnecessary use while keeping you well.
This study tests whether it is safe to stop taking acid-reducing pills (PPIs) for people with inactive IBD. If you have been on a PPI for over 6 months and your IBD is stable, you may be able to join.
