Trial of Proton Pump Inhibitor With Prokinetics or Placebo in Patients With Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease

Phase 3
Conditions
Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease
Interventions
Drug: Pantoprazole
Drug: Motilitone
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02533349
Lead Sponsor
Samsung Medical Center
Brief Summary

Based on meta-analysis of prokinetics trials in laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) (Glicksman et al. 2014), well designed study was performed in 4 articles. But, those studies had several problems including inclusion criteria, randomization methods, and placebo medication. They had similar results that prokinetics and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) had synergistic effect for management of LPRD. Therefore, the aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy of prokinetics as an additional medication to proton pump inhibitor by well designed randomized double blind case-control study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reflux symptom index (questionnaire)1 month after medication

Reflux symptom index is validated questionnaire for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. It consists of 9 items, and scale of each item ranges from 0 to 5 with maximal total score of 45.

Reflux finding score (scoring of laryngeal stroboscopy finding score)1 month after medication

Reflux finding score is an 8-item clinical severity scale based on findings during laryngeal stroboscopy. The scale ranges from 0 (no abnormal findings) to a maximum of 26 (worst score possible).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reflux finding score (scoring of laryngeal stroboscopy finding score)3 months after medication

Reflux finding score is an 8-item clinical severity scale based on findings during laryngeal stroboscopy. The scale ranges from 0 (no abnormal findings) to a maximum of 26 (worst score possible).

Reflux symptom index (questionnaire)3 months after medication

Reflux symptom index is validated questionnaire for laryngopharyngeal reflux disease. It consists of 9 items, and scale of each item ranges from 0 to 5 with maximal total score of 45.
