Summary

This trial tests whether two types of breathing exercises can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with GERD. 42 adults will be randomly assigned to diaphragmatic breathing, incentive spirometry, or standard care for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure acid exposure, esophageal pressure, and symptom scores before and after training.
