Effects of the Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation System on Heartburn, Regurgitation and Esophageal Acid Exposure in GERD Patients—An Uncontrolled Feasibility Study

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2025.
Following TESS treatment, reported number of heartburn and regurgitation events in patients with GERD decreased by 68.3% and 78.5%, respectively. Esophageal AET and DeMeester score decreased by 74.5% (SD 31.9%) and 82.3% (SD 26.8%), respectively. TESS is a useful, safe device, effectively reduces both symptoms and AET in GERD patients.
