New GERD surgery could free millions from daily medications

NCT ID NCT06280664

Summary

This study is testing whether a simpler surgical procedure called hiatal closure can effectively control GERD symptoms. Researchers are enrolling 40 adults with early-stage GERD to see if closing the opening in the diaphragm alone (without additional wrapping procedures) can stop acid reflux. The goal is to determine if this less invasive approach can provide lasting relief and potentially reduce dependence on daily medications.
