Summary

This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise program can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life in people with non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), a type of acid reflux without visible damage to the esophagus. Sixty adults with NERD will be randomly assigned to either high-intensity inspiratory muscle training or a sham (fake) version for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if strengthening the breathing muscles can help control reflux symptoms without medication.
