Acid reflux in people with metabolic syndrome
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how common and how severe acid reflux (GERD) is in people who have metabolic syndrome, and how these two conditions affect each other. If you have metabolic syndrome and symptoms of acid reflux, this study may help doctors understand the connection better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study simply watches and gathers information from people with metabolic syndrome and related conditions. By filling out questionnaires over time, you help researchers learn how these conditions affect daily life, which can lead to better care.
This study looks at how metabolic syndrome affects the heart's upper chambers, which can help prevent strokes. It tests if certain heart changes are linked to kidney and metabolic issues.
This study looks at how being obese relates to heartburn and acid reflux (GERD). If you are obese, joining may help researchers understand the connection better, even though there is no specific treatment being tested.
This study looks at whether a common stomach infection (H. pylori) is linked to metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess belly fat). If you have stomach discomfort, joining may help us understand this connection and improve future care.
This study looks at how gum disease (periodontitis) relates to metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that raise your risk for heart disease and diabetes. It measures the surface area of gum inflammation to better understand this link, which may lead to better prevention and care.
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.
