New topical treatment for nonerosive acid reflux disease
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a new topical treatment for people with chronic heartburn and acid regurgitation who don't have erosions (damage) in their esophagus. The treatment is applied directly to the affected area and may help relieve symptoms without taking daily pills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a topical therapy you apply at night to see if it can improve sleep for people with non-erosive GERD who still have nighttime symptoms even while taking a morning acid reducer.
This study tests a new wearable device (eGERD) that aims to reduce symptoms of GERD (heartburn and regurgitation). The trial will check if the device is safe and works well without needing medication.
This trial compares a new device called RefluxStop to a standard surgery (Nissen fundoplication) for treating long-term acid reflux. It aims to see which one works better at stopping heartburn and other symptoms.
This study tests whether adding a natural gel (Mirgeal) to a standard acid-reducing medication (esomeprazole) helps people with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) more than the medication alone. It aims to improve symptoms like heartburn and acid regurgitation.
This trial tests a new way to treat GERD (chronic acid reflux) using a tiny camera and a device that delivers a gentle heat treatment (argon plasma coagulation) to the area where the stomach meets the esophagus. It's compared to a 'sham' procedure (you won't know which you get) to see if it stops acid from backing up better than medicine alone.
This study tests a new procedure called anti-reflux mucosal ablation to see if it helps people with long-lasting heartburn and acid reflux. It might be an option if medications haven't fully controlled your symptoms.
