Treatment of Rumination by Biofeedback - a Randomized Controlled Trial
Valoración Objetiva y Tratamiento de la rumiación.
Rumination syndrome is characterized by effortless recurrent regurgitation of recently ingested food into the mouth, with consequent expulsion or re-chewing and swallowing. In a previous study the investigators showed that rumination is produced by an unperceived, somatic response to food ingestion.
After having identified the key mechanisms of rumination, the investigators developed an original EMG guided biofeedback technique with specific targets for correction, based on EMG-guided control of abdomino-thoracic muscular activity, and in a pilot study the investigators showed the potential effectivity of this treatment. The current aim is to validate this previous uncontrolled observation by a formal placebo-controlled, randomized trial.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo medication
Electromyography will be recorded but not shown to the patients.
Patients will take a pill of placebo.
|
|
Experimental: Biofeedback
Abdomino-thoracic muscle activity after a challenge meal will be recorded by EMG and the signal will be displayed on a monitor in front of the patients; in the biofeedback group, patients will be instructed to control muscle activity.
