Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition caused by the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus, presenting with typical symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation.
GERD is a chronic condition that affects quality of life, and patients with this condition are known to have a lower quality of life compared to healthy individuals. In particular, nocturnal heartburn can lead to sleep deprivation and affect daily life, as well as overall quality of life.
