Recent insights on functional heartburn and reflux hypersensitivity. [PDF]
Purpose of review Rome IV experts have proposed that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should be diagnosed only in patients with abnormal esophageal acid exposure, and that reflux hypersensitivity (RH) and functional heartburn (FH) both should be ...

Functional heartburn: problems of diagnosis and treatment
Background. Functional heartburn is one of the disorders of the gastrointestinal tract that is widespread in modern society. The disease is characterized by refractory symptoms of heartburn, lack of relief of symptoms with optimal use of proton pump ...

Inconsistency in the Diagnosis of Functional Heartburn: Usefulness of Prolonged Wireless pH Monitoring in Patients With Proton Pump Inhibitor Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. [PDF]
Background/Aims The diagnosis of functional heartburn is important for management, however it stands on fragile pH monitoring variables, ie, acid exposure time varies from day to day and symptoms are often few or absent.

Endoscopic-Guided Measurement of Mucosal Admittance can Discriminate Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease from Functional Heartburn. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: A novel catheter that can measure mucosal admittance (MA), the inverse of impedance, was developed recently. In this pilot study, we aimed to clarify the usefulness of measuring MA for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD ...

Dental evaluation is helpful in the differentiation of functional heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Heartburn is identically the key symptom of both, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional heartburn (FHB), making the differential diagnosis resource-intensive. Oral manifestations of GERD can be easily examined; therefore, their
