No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Globus sensations are associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease as well as the presence of a gastric inlet patch. No controlled trial exists on whether ablation of the cervical heterotopic mucosa may lead to improvement of chronic globus sensations. The aim of this sham-controlled trial is to clarify whether argon-beamer-ablation of cervical heterotopic gastric inlet patches of the esophagus improves patients' chronic globus sensations.
