Summary

This study tests if a small, non-invasive device that sends mild electrical pulses through the skin (called TEA) can reduce heartburn in people with Non-Erosive Reflux Disease (NERD). About 204 adults with frequent heartburn but no visible damage to their esophagus will be randomly assigned to receive real TEA or a sham device. The goal is to see if TEA increases the number of heartburn-free days over 4 weeks, offering a potential drug-free option.
