Summary
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a very common disease nowadays. Proton-pump inhibitors
(PPIs) are the first-line treatment for this disease. However, the effectiveness of treatment
with PPIs is still limited. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating this
condition. Another treatment method is thread embedding acupuncture therapy, which is a
method of burying threads into acupoints to create a more lasting stimulation than
traditional acupuncture.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of thread embedding
acupuncture and standard dose pantoprazole compared with standard dose pantoprazole as
monotherapy in adults.
