GERD and metabolic syndrome study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how common and how severe GERD (acid reflux) is in people with metabolic syndrome. If you have both conditions, you may help researchers understand how they affect each other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (a condition that includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, extra belly fat, and abnormal cholesterol).
- You have symptoms of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease, like heartburn or acid reflux).
- You have not had surgery on your esophagus, stomach, or upper intestines.

This observational study follows adults who have metabolic syndrome (or related risk factors) to better understand their health and how they manage it. You may be asked to complete surveys about symptoms and quality of life, which can help researchers track changes over time.
This trial looks at how obesity (having a BMI of 30 or more) is linked to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition that causes heartburn and acid reflux. Researchers want to understand the relationship to help improve care for people with both conditions.
This study looks at how following specific diet and behavior changes affects symptoms of acid reflux (heartburn/regurgitation) in everyday life. It may help you understand what lifestyle steps improve reflux and how symptoms change over time.
This study looks at why people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) still have bad heartburn or regurgitation even when they take strong acid-reducing medications. It aims to find better ways to understand and manage these symptoms.
This study looks at the link between metabolic syndrome and gum disease. You may be eligible if you have at least three signs of metabolic syndrome and generally healthy teeth and gums.
This study looks at patients who came to Beijing Friendship Hospital with stomach acid issues (GERD). Researchers want to understand how treatments like medications or anti-reflux surgery work over time. By joining, you help them improve care for others with the same condition.
