GERD Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

The most common symptoms of GERD are acid indigestion and heartburn.   Heartburn is normal.  Frequent and problematic heartburn should be reviewed with your gastroenterologist.

Patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may experience complications such as damage to the esophagus, Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal cancer.

Find out more about clinical studies for patients with GERD.

Chronic Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C virus is most often transmitted through exposure to infected blood. Most people have no symptoms. Those who do develop symptoms may have fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and yellowing of the eyes and skin.
Hepatitis C is treated with antiviral medications. In some people, newer medicines can eradicate the virus.

NERD Non-Erosive Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Nonerosive Reflux Disease (NERD)

Nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), a subcategory of GERD, is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by troublesome reflux-related symptoms in the absence of endoscopic evidence of esophageal mucosal erosions or breaks. Approximately 50-85% of patients with reflux-related symptoms that are accompanied by negative endoscopic findings are diagnosed with NERD. It is estimated that more than two-thirds of GERD patients have NERD.

Difficulty Swallowing and Eosinophilic Esophagitis EoE

Barrett’s Esophagus

The exact cause of Barrett’s esophagus is not fully understood, but long-term GERD is the number one risk factor. Not all people with GERD get Barrett’s esophagus – in fact, it develops in less than 10% of people with GERD. It is more common in people who have had GERD for a long time or who were diagnosed with it at a young age.

Learn more about clinical trials for the diagnosis and treatment of Barrett’s Esophagus.

Colonoscopy Prep

Clinical trials look at new ways to prevent, detect or treat gastrointestinal diseases or conditions, while also providing valuable information about health and disease progress. Colonoscopy is the most important step in the prevention of colon cancer. Colonoscopy is the only colon cancer screening method that allows your gastroenterologist to visualize the entire colon and remove most polyps at the same time.

The most important step prior to your colonoscopy is cleaning out your colon. This will allow your physician to discover and remove polyps. Learn more about a new trial on colonoscopy prep.

Gastroparesis is a condition that affects the normal spontaneous movement of the muscles (motility) in your stomach causing food to stay in your stomach for longer than it should.  Gastroparesis can cause a feeling of fullness, nausea and vomiting.

Encore Borland Groover Research is actively recruiting patient volunteer for a Gastroparesis study in Jacksonville.

H. Pylori

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria.

Many researchers believe that H. pylori is responsible for the majority of peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis and increases the risk of developing gastric cancer.

Symptoms of H. pylori may include gnawing or burning pain, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite.
