Could an evening gel improve sleep for nighttime reflux?
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had heartburn or regurgitation for at least 6 months and a doctor confirmed it.
- You have no damage to your esophagus (like erosions or Barrett's) seen on a recent upper endoscopy.
- You take a proton pump inhibitor (like omeprazole) in the morning but still have moderate sleep trouble from reflux at night.
- You are not taking certain other stomach or nerve medications in the past month or week.
- You can avoid pregnancy during the study if you are of childbearing age.

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.
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 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 trial tests a treatment for nighttime heartburn caused by GERD, a condition where stomach acid damages the esophagus. It is for adults who have had nighttime heartburn for more than 3 months and have been diagnosed with erosive GERD.
This study tests an add-on gel called Mirgeal® that you take along with the usual acid-reducer esomeprazole (Nexium) to see if it improves symptom relief for people with non-erosive acid reflux (NERD) — reflux that doesn't show visible damage on an endoscopy. It may help reduce 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.
