PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: Twelve subjects provided post-treatment salivary samples for pepsin analysis. While the subject flow shows 20 subjects (all of which completed baseline pepsin analysis), only 12 completed post-treatment testing.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: 15 subjects completed the RSI post-treatment. The subject flow shows 20 subjects completing this questionnaire at baseline, but this section reflects the 15 subjects who completed this questionnaire post-treatment.

Respiratory symptom index (RSI) score. Values between 0 and 45. Higher value is associated with increased symptom severity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: Fifteen subjects completed the post-treatment GERDQ questionnaire. While 20 subjects completed the questionnaire at baseline, this section contains results from the 15 who completed the questionnaire 2 weeks post UESAD treatment.

GERDQ score. Scale of 0-12, higher score indicates increased symptom severity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: Fifteen subjects completed the post-treatment questionnaire. While 20 subjects (as indicated on the participant flow section) completed the baseline questionnaire, this section reflects the results of the 15 subjects who completed the questionnaire at 2 weeks post UESAD treatment.
