Summary
This trial looks at whether a device called the Reflux Band can help reduce acid reflux in people who have had a lung transplant.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for lung transplant recipients who have acid reflux, as shown by tests before their transplant. They must understand and agree to the study's process and follow-up visits. Stable lung function after the transplant is required. People with recent head or neck surgery, thyroid disease, certain cancers, carotid artery disease, or a history of stroke can't join.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the Reflux Band™ UES Assist Device on patients who've had a lung transplant to see if it helps control their acid reflux symptoms. It's an open-label trial where all participants will use the device and be monitored for its effects.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in your information provided, potential side effects may include discomfort at the site of wearing the device, possible skin irritation from contact with the band material, or difficulty swallowing if too much pressure is applied.
