Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common outpatient diagnosis in gastroenterology and is associated with a significant burden on the healthcare system. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the mainstay of GERD treatment,howerver, some patients have an unsatisfactory response to high doses of PPIs, which remains a challenge. The Stretta procedure, a radiofrequency (RF) application to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), was introduced about 15 years ago as an alternative to chronic medical therapy or surgical intervention for GERD.The Stretta procedure appears to result in thickening of the LES, decreased transient LES relaxation rate and reduced esophageal acid exposure.The majority studies of Stretta were held in USA and Europe, the sduty of Stretta in Asia is rare. The investigators propose to perform a prospectively observiton study to evaluate the efficency of the Stretta procedure in patients of refractory GERD in China.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
GERD-HRQL scores
Time Frame: [Time Frame: Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 1 month;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 2 months;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 6 months;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 1 year]
the improvement of GERD-HRQL scores after procedure.Scale ranges 0-50 points, the lower score means the better efficacy.
[Time Frame: Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 1 month;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 2 months;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 6 months;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 1 year]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients who report independence from Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) drug post Stretta procedure
Time Frame: Change from Baseline number at 1 month;Change from Baseline number at 2 months;Change from Baseline number at 6 months;Change from Baseline number at 1 year]
Questionnaire will be provided to each participant to report no further requirement of PPI drug post procedure.
