Summary
This study tests a traditional Chinese herbal formula called Chaizhi Hewei Decoction for people with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), a type of acid reflux without visible damage. The trial will randomly assign 66 adults to receive either the herbal granules or a placebo for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure symptom improvement, quality of life, and aim to see if the formula can help reduce the need for standard acid-reducing drugs.
