Summary

The main objectives of the study are (1) to investigate if sleep positional therapy, using the LEFT smartwatch app reduces nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux symptoms in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease symptomatology at night and (2) stimulates patients to avoid sleeping in the right lateral sleep position.

Conditions

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux
  • Heartburn

Interventions

DEVICE

LEFT smartwatch app

The LEFT smartwatch app is an app on the Apple Watch which measures body sleep position and gently vibrates when the body is in the right lateral decubitus position. In this way, patients with nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux symptoms learn to avoid the right lateral sleep position as they will avoid the annoying vibrations. Measurements while using the smartwatch app will be compared to measurements at baseline.
