Device
Omega-Cuff Device for GERD
Recruiting1 award
Los Angeles, California
This trial is testing the Omega-Cuff, a device that helps prevent acid reflux by supporting the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus. It is for GERD patients who don't get relief from medications. The device increases pressure to stop acid from coming up but still lets food go down easily.

PRP in Hiatal Hernia Repair
Recruiting1 award
Los Angeles, California
This trial is testing whether using platelet rich plasma (PRP) with mesh in hiatal hernia surgery can improve healing and reduce hernia recurrence. The study involves adults with large hernias and looks at the effects of PRP on healing and recurrence rates. PRP is believed to enhance tissue healing, making the repair stronger. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been underinvestigated for improving hernia repair outcomes, but it may enhance healing and reduce recurrence rates.

This trial is testing the Gracie Diet, which involves specific food combinations and meal spacing, to help people with GERD who don't get better with usual medications. The diet aims to improve digestion and reduce symptoms by preventing bad chemical reactions in the stomach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
