NCT ID NCT05696184
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how the throat and esophagus normally prevent stomach contents from reaching the throat in people with GERD. Researchers will use a thin tube with sensors placed through the nose to measure pressure, acid, and liquid movement, along with a tiny camera to watch the throat. The goal is to identify why some people experience throat symptoms like regurgitation, which could improve diagnosis and treatment.
