Abstract
|
|
|
|
Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) refers to reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus leading to esophagitis, reflux symptoms (e.g. heartburn, regurgitation and non-cardiac chest pain) sufficient to impair quality of life, or long term complications. Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), a subdivision of GERD, is diagnosed when there were some reflux symptoms without esophagitis and mucosal breaks at endoscopy. We report that severe NERD symptoms and lower quality of life which have not responded to more than 6 months’ western medical therapy (acid suppression) were successfully improved with traditional oriental medicine.
