Clinical trial: radiofrequency energy delivery in proton pump inhibitor‐dependent gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease patients

Abstract

Radiofrequency energy delivery is a safe and effective therapeutic option, allowing reduction in or discontinuation of PPI therapy in patients with PPI-dependent symptoms, without loss of quality of life. However, in a majority of patients, PPI therapy cannot be completely stopped. The efficacy of RF does not seem to be related to a decrease in OAE.
