Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week online mindfulness program can reduce emotional distress and reflux symptoms in 500 adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Participants are randomly assigned to either the mindfulness program or usual care. The goal is to see if learning to manage emotions can improve quality of life and reduce the burden of GERD.
