Herbal formula for non-erosive reflux symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a traditional Chinese herbal formula (Chaizhi Hewei decoction) for people with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) — reflux symptoms without visible damage to the food pipe. It aims to see if the herbal decoction helps reduce symptoms like heartburn and chest discomfort.
