Summary
This study tested a new, faster way to diagnose GERD (heartburn disease) using a special probe during a routine endoscopy. The test takes only one minute and may be more comfortable than current methods. Fifteen adults with known reflux participated, and their results were compared to standard 48-hour monitoring.
