Thread-Embedding Acupuncture as an Adjunct to Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

2026年8月28日 更新者：Dr Nguyen Ngo Le Minh Anh MD, PhD、University of Science Ho Chi Minh City

Efficacy and Safety of Thread-Embedding Acupuncture as an Adjunct to Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and Liver-Stomach Stagnation-Heat Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of thread-embedding acupuncture combined with omeprazole in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) presenting with the traditional medicine pattern of Liver-Stomach constraint-heat. Participants will receive either thread-embedding acupuncture combined with omeprazole or the comparator treatment according to the study protocol. Clinical outcomes will be assessed to determine the effectiveness and safety of the intervention.

  • Structural gastrointestinal disease confirmed by endoscopy, including esophageal malignancy or other significant organic lesions.
  • Current use of medications that may influence GERD assessment or treatment, including glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, bisphosphonates, prostaglandins, oral contraceptives, antifungal agents, or sedative medications.
  • Use of proton pump inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists, or prokinetic agents within the previous 14 days.
  • History of hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors or absorbable catgut/thread material.
  • Skin inflammation, infection, or other dermatologic disease at or around the intended thread-embedding sites.
  • Current pregnancy or breastfeeding.

参加者グループ / アーム
介入・治療
アクティブコンパレータ：Omeprazole
Participants receive omeprazole according to the treatment regimen specified in the study protocol.
手順：Thread-Embedding Acupuncture
Participants will receive acupoint catgut embedding in addition to standard treatment with omeprazole. Acupoint catgut embedding will be performed twice during the 4-week treatment period, at 2-week intervals. Sterile chromic catgut 3/0 will be embedded at Zhongwan (CV12), Shangwan (CV13), Xiawan (CV10), Zusanli (ST36), Tianshu (ST25), and Taichong (LR3) according to the standardized procedure. Participants will be monitored for 30 minutes after each procedure for adverse events.

この研究は何を測定していますか？

主要な結果の測定

結果測定
メジャーの説明
時間枠
Change in GERD-Q Score
時間枠：Baseline and 4 weeks
Gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms will be assessed using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ). The total GerdQ score ranges from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating more severe gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. Change in the total GerdQ score from baseline to 4 weeks will be assessed between the two study groups.
Baseline and 4 weeks

二次結果の測定

結果測定
メジャーの説明
時間枠
Treatment Response Based on GerdQ
時間枠：Baseline and weekly through 4 weeks
Treatment response will be defined as a reduction of at least 2 points in the total Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ) score from baseline. The total GerdQ score ranges from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating more severe gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. The proportion of participants achieving treatment response will be compared between the two study groups.
Baseline and weekly through 4 weeks
Complete Symptom Resolution Based on GerdQ
時間枠：4 weeks
Complete resolution of typical gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms will be assessed using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ). The total GerdQ score ranges from 0 to 18, with higher scores indicating more severe GERD symptoms. Complete symptom resolution will be defined as a score of 0 for both the heartburn and regurgitation items of the GerdQ. The proportion of participants achieving complete symptom resolution at 4 weeks will be compared between the two study groups.
4 weeks
Change in Traditional Medicine Symptoms of Liver-Stomach Heat Stagnation Syndrome
時間枠：Baseline and weekly through 4 weeks
Traditional medicine symptoms of Liver-Stomach Stagnated Heat syndrome will be assessed using a syndrome symptom score comprising two main symptoms (burning sensation and acid regurgitation) and six secondary symptoms (retrosternal pain, epigastric burning pain, epigastric fullness, belching or food regurgitation, irritability, and rapid hunger). Each main symptom is rated as absent, mild, moderate, or severe and scored 0, 2, 4, or 6 points, respectively. Each secondary symptom is rated as absent, mild, moderate, or severe and scored 0, 1, 2, or 3 points, respectively. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater syndrome severity. Change in the total syndrome score from baseline through 4 weeks will be compared between the two study groups.
Baseline and weekly through 4 weeks
Treatment Response Based on Liver-Stomach Stagnated Heat Syndrome Score
時間枠：Baseline and 4 weeks
Treatment response for Liver-Stomach Stagnated Heat syndrome will be assessed using the percentage reduction in the total syndrome score from baseline. The efficacy index will be calculated as [(baseline score - post-treatment score) / baseline score] × 100. Clinical cure is defined as an efficacy index of at least 95%, markedly effective as 70% to less than 95%, effective as 30% to less than 70%, and ineffective as less than 30%. The proportion of participants classified as clinically cured, markedly effective, effective, or ineffective at 4 weeks will be compared between the two study groups.
Baseline and 4 weeks
Adverse Events Associated With Thread-Embedding Acupuncture
時間枠：Throughout the 4-week treatment period
Adverse events associated with thread-embedding acupuncture will be monitored throughout the 4-week treatment period. Events of interest include local pain, bleeding, bruising, swelling, infection, allergic reactions, and other treatment-related complications. The number and proportion of participants experiencing at least one adverse event will be recorded and compared between the two study groups.
Throughout the 4-week treatment period
