Czech study seeks to uncover hidden reflux in kids
NCT ID NCT07482969
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find out how many children in the Czech Republic, aged 8-9 and 12-13, have symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Researchers will recruit 1,000 children through schools and ask them to complete an online questionnaire about reflux symptoms. Those with symptoms will undergo further testing, including a trial of acid-reducing medication, an endoscopy if needed, and a 24-hour pH test to confirm the diagnosis. The study will provide important data on the prevalence and impact of GERD in this age group.
