Visceral hypersensitivity in non-erosive reflux disease

Gut, 2007
Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is defined as the presence of classic symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) in the absence of oesophageal mucosal injury (or Barrett’s oesophagus) as determined by inspection at upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.1 As such it is regarded as being one of the two main phenotypes of GORD, the other being ...

Capsaicin receptor (TRPV1) and non-erosive reflux disease

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2006
Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is a common and heterogeneous disorder. We hypothesized that changes in peripheral innervation may lead to hyperalgesia and contribute to the development of the disorder.Patients referred for evaluation of reflux symptoms with wireless pH monitoring were asked to provide demographic and clinical data and complete a ...

Precise Role of Acid in Non-Erosive Reflux Disease

Digestion, 2008
The fundamental abnormality in gastroesophageal reflux disease is exposure of the esophageal epithelium to acidic gastric contents, resulting in histopathologic injury and/or symptoms. With increasing understanding of gastroesophageal reflux disease, non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is found to account for >50% of cases involving gastroesophageal ...

Epidemiology of Non-Erosive Reflux Disease

Digestion, 2008
Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is a relatively new entity, the definition of which has been evolving and involves the use of symptoms, endoscopy, and objective evidence of reflux or reflux-related damage. The closest entity to NERD that is examined by available epidemiologic studies is defined by the presence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Oesophageal afferent pathway sensitivity in non‐erosive reflux disease

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2008
Abstract  Patients with non‐erosive reflux disease (NERD) report symptoms which commonly fail to improve on conventional antireflux therapies. Oesophageal visceral hyperalgaesia may contribute to symptom generation in NERD and we explore this hypothesis using oesophageal evoked potentials. Fifteen endoscopically confirmed NERD patients (four female, 29–

MAGNIFYING ENDOSCOPIC FINDINGS OF NON‐EROSIVE REFLUX DISEASE

Digestive Endoscopy, 2006
Magnifying endoscopies have been remarkably developed to visualize the microstructure of gastrointestinal surface mucosa and mucosal vascularity. Close examination is necessary not only for colorectal tumors but also for upper gastrointestinal disease. Magnifying endoscopic observations for a change of capillary vessels in the esophageal epithelium was

[Non-erosive reflux disease: NERD].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 2015
Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) is characterized by the absence of esophageal mucosal damage during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, despite the presence of typical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, such as heartburn and acid reflux. In addition, acid reflux is known to have only a minor effect on the pathophysiological mechanism of NERD.

[Non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease].

Polski merkuriusz lekarski : organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego, 2009
Non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) is still underappreciated type of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is not a homogenous group of patients with real reflux, oversensitivity of esophagus and functional dyspepsia. Nowadays often in classifications of GERD patients with NERD are omitted.

Non-Erosive Reflux Disease – Some Clinical Case Scenarios

Digestion, 2008
The consensus meeting attempted to clarify concepts associated with the clinical entity often termed ‘NERD’ and to define it in a way that would permit physicians to communicate accurately amongst each other when they use the term, so that there may be a common understanding of the condition.

Non-erosive Reflux Disease and Atypical Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease Manifestations: Treatment Results

Drugs, 2006
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a widespread complex disorder that may be responsible for a variety of different symptoms and clinical features. Despite the presence of symptoms, the majority of patients do not have endoscopic lesions of oesophagitis.
