Registration Number
NCT04134364
Lead Sponsor
Kyungpook National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Sometimes, subjects complain about gastrointestinal symptoms after esophagogastroduodenoscopy and biopsy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of sodium alginate (Lamina-G®) on biopsy-related gastrointestinal symptom.

Detailed Description

This study is an open labeled, single-center randomized controlled trials. Patients who underwent upper enoscopy with biopsy were randomly assigned to medication and control group. In the medication group, sodium alginate was administered after EGD during 3 days. All patients underwent a questionnaire to check the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms at baseline and on the day after return home. After 3 days, gastrointestinal symptoms were investigated by telephone survey. Gastrointestinal symptom was scaled by upper gastrointestinal symptom rate score (GSRS). Upper GSRS contains 8 items and 3 scales; abdominal pain (abdominal pain, epigastric pain/hunger soreness, nausea), reflux symptom (Heartburn/reflux/belching gas), indigestion symptom (abdominal distension, borborygmus).
