Breathing muscle training for non-erosive reflux disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for people with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), a type of acid reflux that doesn't damage the esophagus lining.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) by a doctor.
- An endoscopy showed no sores or damage in your esophagus.
- You have had reflux symptoms for at least 3 months.
- You are not currently taking acid-reducing medicines (PPIs) or can stop taking them for at least 2 weeks before the trial starts.
- You do not have other serious stomach, lung, or medical conditions (like ulcers, asthma, or heart disease).

This trial tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles can help reduce GERD symptoms. You may be eligible if you have GERD and are in generally good health without other major conditions.
This trial tests whether combining breathing exercises with manual therapy can improve symptoms for people with GERD. It may help if you are currently taking acid-reducing medication.
This study tests whether special breathing exercises can help people with inflammatory myopathy. You would learn and practice breathing techniques using a device that strengthens your breathing muscles.
This trial tests if training your breathing muscles can improve respiratory function in people with obesity. It aims to help those with a BMI of 30 or higher.
This study tests if inspiratory muscle training (IMT) helps people with severe asthma manage their condition better. It is for adults who have already completed pulmonary rehab and IMT.
This study tests if a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) can strengthen your breathing muscles while you wait for a lung transplant. You'd do the training alongside your regular pulmonary rehab sessions.
