Summary
This study looked at 30 people with symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), such as hoarseness or a lump in the throat, and compared their pH-impedance test results to healthy individuals. The goal was to see if this test can better detect LPR. Participants took the drug esomeprazole for 8 weeks to see how symptoms and test results changed.
