Role of Pain Modulation in GERD Patients Who Failed Standard Dose PPI
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Rabeprazole 20mg, placebo dinner and bedtime, Rabeprazole 20 mg two times, Placebo at bedtime, and 1 other intervention for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Completed, enrolled 236 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this project is to compare the efficacy (how successful) 1) standard-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) (rabeprazole 20 mg once daily) (a medication that completely blocks the stomach from producing acid) plus low dose tricyclic antidepressant (nortriptyline 50mg) (TCA); 2) double-dose PPI (rabeprazole 20 mg twice a day); to 3) standard-dose PPI (rabeprazole 20mg once daily) and placebo (an inactive substance, like a sugar pill) to determine the relative symptom resolution and health-related quality of life in gastroesophageal reflux disease (a disease characterized by a burning sensation (heartburn) behind the breast bone caused by a backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus) (GERD) patients who fail standard-dose PPI and you will be randomly assigned (similar to flipping a coin) to one of the three groups.
