Breathing Training to Help Reduce Acid Reflux
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether special diaphragm breathing exercises (using the muscle below your lungs that controls breathing) can reduce acid reflux symptoms. You'll learn and practice these exercises over time to see if they help your GERD without needing more medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) confirmed by recent endoscopy, pH monitoring, or ongoing acid-blocking medication
- You are willing to attend regular training sessions and follow-up visits for the study
- You do not have significant heart, lung, or breathing problems that would make breathing exercises unsafe
- You have not had surgery on your stomach or esophagus for reflux

This trial tests whether speech and language therapy can help reduce bloating, belching, and other air-related symptoms in people with acid reflux (GERD). Researchers will measure how much the therapy improves these symptoms before and after treatment.
This study looks at the “upward reflux” that can irritate the throat and sometimes worsen symptoms like cough or asthma. It aims to understand the mechanisms that prevent or allow throat reflux, which may lead to better ways to manage symptoms.
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 tests a comprehensive program that combines diet and lifestyle changes to help people with chronic acid reflux (heartburn, acid regurgitation, or chest pain) feel better. It looks at how these changes can improve your overall health and reduce symptoms.
This study tests if a special breathing retraining program helps combat athletes who have trouble breathing properly during sport. It may improve how well you move and perform.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help reduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — a condition where stomach acid backs up into the throat. It is for adults who have been diagnosed with reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the food pipe) and are willing to attend breathing training sessions.
