Study of a device to treat acid reflux
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
