Study Summary

This will be a randomized clinical trial examining the efficacy and safety of ARAT (intervention group) in patients with chronic GERD symptoms (typical symptoms of GERD, i.e. heartburn or acid reflux/regurgitation at least twice a week) for the last 6 months. Patients must have a positive pH test and a negative manometry (no treatment) procedure.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome of quality of life will be measured using the validated GERD related quality of life questionnaire (GERD-HRQL). The total score is 50, and a higher score is associated with more severe symptoms.
