Summary
This study aimed to develop better diagnostic tests and a device (external pressure on the throat) for patients with pharyngeal reflux, where stomach contents reach the throat. It planned to include adults with GERD and throat symptoms. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results or conclusions are available.
