RefluxStop device compared with standard surgery for acid reflux
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called RefluxStop against a standard surgery called Nissen fundoplication to see which better treats long-term acid reflux (GERD). If you have had GERD for at least a year and meet the criteria, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must have had typical acid reflux symptoms (like heartburn) for at least 12 months
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of GERD from a 24-hour pH test, taken off acid-reducing medication for at least 7 days before the test
- You must be healthy enough for general anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery
- You cannot have had prior weight-loss or anti-reflux surgery
- You cannot be pregnant or nursing

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 trial compares two surgical approaches (a 'partial wrap' and a 'full wrap' of the stomach around the esophagus) to fix a hiatal hernia and treat severe, hard-to-control reflux (GERD). It may be a good option if your reflux hasn't improved with medication and you have a hiatal hernia.
This trial is testing a device called RefluxStop™ that is implanted during keyhole surgery to treat acid reflux (GERD). The study will check how safe and effective the device is for people with long-term GERD, and it aims to help reduce heartburn and other reflux symptoms.
This registry study follows people with long-term acid reflux (GERD) who get the RefluxStop treatment. It mainly collects real-world safety and performance information to see how well the device helps over time.
This study looks at patients who are planning to have surgery for severe acid reflux (called fundoplication). It aims to find out which patients are most likely to see their symptoms improve after the operation, so doctors can better choose who will benefit.
This trial compares two surgical treatments for acid reflux (GERD) that isn't well controlled with medication. It tests if the LINX device (a magnetic ring around the esophagus) works as well or better than fundoplication (a stomach wrap). It may help people who need surgery for reflux.
