Summary
This study is testing a new, less invasive device that measures the health of the esophagus in people with acid reflux (GERD). Researchers will compare two versions of the device in 75 patients undergoing routine endoscopy. The goal is to see if this technology can diagnose GERD more accurately and comfortably than current methods.
