Night-time intra-oesophageal bile and acid: a comparison between gastro-oesophageal reflux disease patients who failed and those who were treated successfully with a proton pump inhibitor.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Non-cardiac chest pain is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders. By recognising that gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), oesophageal dysmotility and oesophageal hypersensitivity are the main underlying mechanisms of NCCP, a more directed therapeutic approach has been developed. ...
