Testing a better way to measure reflux in women and lower-weight patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing a reflux testing probe to find which works better for women and people with a lower body mass index. You may be able to join if you have typical heartburn or regurgitation symptoms and have not had stomach or esophagus surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have typical GERD symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, or chest discomfort.
- You have not had any past surgery on your stomach or esophagus.
- You are able to have an endoscopy (a camera down your throat) with sedation.
- You are not currently pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial looks at how well a special test (pH-impedance) can diagnose GERD (acid reflux disease) when done correctly. It will use a new way to read the test results to see if it helps doctors classify GERD better.
This trial tests if people with GERD or a hiatal hernia can safely have antireflux surgery without first having a standard esophagus pressure test (manometry). It aims to simplify the process and may help you avoid an extra test before surgery.
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 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 compares the Stretta procedure to standard “conservative” treatment for people with ongoing GERD symptoms despite taking acid pills (PPIs). It aims to see whether Stretta can better control reflux and possibly help people stop or reduce PPIs safely.
