Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. The main question it aims to answer is:

• Can stellate ganglion block improve gastroesophageal reflux symptoms better on the basis of rehabilitation training? Participants will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Stellate Ganglion Block once a day additionally. The study lasts 20 days for each participant. Researchers will compare the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire, Pressure pain threshold, Self-Evaluation Questionnaire for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, to see if the Stellate Ganglion Block can help improve the symptom.

Detailed Description

Gastroesophageal reflux is a common digestive disorder characterized by the backflow of stomach contents and fluids into the esophagus.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire

Time Frame: day 1 and day 10

The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire is a commonly used questionnaire for assessing the symptoms and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease. It was developed by gastrointestinal experts in Germany and consists of six questions that evaluate the frequency and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. For each question, patients are required to select the answer that best corresponds to their situation. Different scores are assigned based on the chosen answers, and a total score is calculated at the end. The maximum score for the Test is 12 points, with a lower score indicating milder symptoms and a higher score indicating more severe symptoms.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Modified Mayo Clinic Dysphagia-30 questionnaire(day 1 and day 10)
  • Pressure pain threshold(day 1 and day 10)
