Trial of Proton Pump Inhibitor With Prokinetics or Placebo in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease

May 29, 2016 updated by: Man Ki Chung, Samsung Medical Center

Randomized Controlled Trial of Proton Pump Inhibitor With Prokinetics or Placebo in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease

Based on meta-analysis of prokinetics trials in laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) (Glicksman et al. 2014), well designed study was performed in 4 articles. But, those studies had several problems including inclusion criteria, randomization methods, and placebo medication. They had similar results that prokinetics and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) had synergistic effect for management of LPRD. Therefore, the aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of prokinetics as an additional medication to proton pump inhibitor by well designed randomized double blind case-control study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reflux symptom index (questionnaire)
Time Frame: 1 month after medication
Reflux symptom index is validated questionnaire for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. It consists of 9 items, and scale of each item ranges from 0 to 5 with maximal total score of 45.
1 month after medication
Reflux finding score (scoring of laryngeal stroboscopy finding score)
Time Frame: 1 month after medication
Reflux finding score is an 8-item clinical severity scale based on findings during laryngeal stroboscopy. The scale ranges from 0 (no abnormal findings) to a maximum of 26 (worst score possible).
1 month after medication

Secondary Outcome Measures

3 months after medication
Reflux finding score (scoring of laryngeal stroboscopy finding score)
Time Frame: 3 months after medication
