Brief Title ICMJE | Hyaluronic Acid in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease | ||||
Official Title ICMJE | Hyaluronic Acid as a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Patients With GERD: a Single-center Study | ||||
Brief Summary | Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains one of the most common pathologies seen among gastroenterologists, surgeons, and primary care physicians. The high prevalence of this condition lead to further investigations in its prevention, diagnosis, and management. For the treatment of this chronic condition, improvement in quality of life and long-term durability should be considered. Nowadays, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are considered the mainstay in the treatment of the patients with GERD; however, due to the increasing concern related to its safety in its long-term use and the over prescription of these drugs, new surgical and endoscopic interventions have emerged. A local treatment based on injections of hyaluronic acid, a natural nonimmunogenic mucosal defense, in the lower esophageal mucosa is a tentative treatment option for these patients. Based on this, the investigators pursue to assess the effects of hyaluronic acid in gastroesophageal reflux control. |

Detailed Description | GERD is one of the most common digestive pathologies, with a prevalence between 20% and 40% of adults. For the treatment of the disease, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have undoubtedly shown effective results; however, in around 30% of patients the complete resolution of symptoms fails. For the latter, new therapeutic options should be considered. As a modern well-tolerated approach, and for local treatment, hyaluronic acid (HA) appeared to be an option for symptoms relief. HA is a glycosaminoglycan that acts as a natural defense for esophageal mucosa, able to organize the reticular structure as a filter to prevent the diffusion of high molecular substances. In addition, one of its remarkable features is the induction and control of epithelial cells turnover improving the re-epithelization process and the ulcer healing. In addition, hyaluronic acid compounds have shown no migration from the injection site in up to a three-year period. Based on the above, the investigators aim to assess the effectiveness of hyaluronic acid in gastroesophageal reflux control, to considered it as an alternative effective treatment. |
