Clinical Trials Reza Shaker, MD is currently running
Cricoid Pressure
for Acid Reflux
After defining the manometric characteristics of UES incompetence associated with documented pharyngeal reflux, we will determine the reproducibility of manometric criteria for UES incompetence in prevention of pharyngeal reflux. We hypothesize that these criteria are comprised of either a single or constellation of manometric abnormalities. After determining the ability of externally applied cricoid cartilage pressure in preventing pharyngeal reflux, we further hypothesize that this approach will eliminate or reduce esophago-pharyngeal reflux by enhancing the UES pressure barrier. We anticipate there will be a close spatial correlation between the site of applied pressure and area of increased pressure within UES high pressure zone. Lastly, we will determine and characterize the effect of externally applied cricoid cartilage pressure on related functions such as belch and swallow, testing the hypothesis that these functions will not be impaired.

Shaker Pressure Band
for GERD
This trial is testing a device placed around the upper esophagus to help patients with severe reflux symptoms that don't respond to other treatments. The device works by increasing pressure to stop acid from moving up into the throat.
