Efficacy and Safety of Thread Embedding Acupuncture Combined With PPI in Treating GERD

University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City·interventional·Posted Apr 29, 2022·Updated Jul 28, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Thread embedding acupuncture and Pantoprazole 40mg for Gastroesophageal Reflux. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a very common disease nowadays. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the first-line treatment for this disease. However, the effectiveness of treatment with PPIs is still limited. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating this condition. Another treatment method is thread embedding acupuncture therapy, which is a method of burying threads into acupoints to create a more lasting stimulation than traditional acupuncture. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of thread embedding acupuncture and standard dose pantoprazole compared with standard dose pantoprazole as monotherapy in adults.
