This trial tests a procedure called band ligation to treat acid reflux (GERD). It's for people who haven't had any previous reflux surgery.
This trial tests which of two surgical repairs works better for children with a congenital hiatus hernia that hasn't improved with medication. It aims to find the best long-term fix for symptoms like severe heartburn or breathing issues.
This trial compares two surgical treatments for acid reflux (GERD) that isn't well controlled with medication. It tests if the LINX device (a magnetic ring around the esophagus) works as well or better than fundoplication (a stomach wrap). It may help people who need surgery for reflux.
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 trial tests a newer, less invasive surgical procedure called TIF (Transoral Incisional Fundoplication) for patients with severe acid reflux and regurgitation that hasn't improved with high-dose medications. The procedure is done through the mouth rather than the abdomen, and researchers will follow patients for 5 years to see if it works and is safe in Asian populations.
This trial tests a treatment for babies under 1 year old who have frequent and troublesome reflux (GERD). It aims to find a safe and effective way to reduce symptoms like crying, feeding problems, and breathing pauses.
