Conditions
the GERD Occurence

Procedure: thoracolumbar kyphosis surgery
Registration Number
NCT04521985
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

The investigator aimed to investigate the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) along with esophageal motility in thoracolumbar kyphotic patients who meet surgical spinal correction criteria. Because some patients refused to receive spinal correction surgery, our patients divided into surgical and non-surgical treatment (for example: brace) groups. The investigator intended to use (1) multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring to assess the height, non-acidic and acidic regurgitation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (2) high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) to esophageal motility between pretreatment and posttreatment period. (3) the questionnaire to evaluate the reflux-related symptoms: the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG), gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) and Carlsson-Dent self-administered questionnaire (QUEST)

Detailed Description

Background: the investigator aimed to investigate the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) along with esophageal motility in thoracolumbar kyphotic patients who meet surgical spinal correction criteria. Because some patients refused to receive spinal correction surgery, our patients divided into surgical and non-surgical treatment (for example: brace) groups. The investigator intended to use (1) multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring to assess the height, non-acidic and acidic regurgitation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (2) high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) to esophageal motility between pretreatment and posttreatment period. (3) the questionnaire to evaluate the reflux-related symptoms: the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG), gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) and Carlsson-Dent self-administered questionnaire (QUEST)

Objectives:

1. To determine whether acid or weakly acidic reflux in to the esophagus decreases after patients receiving treatment.

2. To investigate the change of esophageal motility after patients receiving treatment.

3. To determine whether the GERD symptoms would get improved after surgical or nonsurgical treatment.

Patients and methods: After the surgeon explained the spinal correction surgery, patients decided to recieve the correction surgery or wear brace treatment. Three types of evaluation were conducted in (1) patients receiving surgical correction \[preoeprative and postoeprative surgical spinal correction (within 6 months)\] (2) patients receiving brace treatment for 3 month \[pretreament and wearing brace after 3 month within 6 months\]; namely, HRIM, 24h MII-pH monitoring and three different questionniare surveys: the freqeuncy scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG), gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) and Carlsson-Dent self administered questionniare (QUEST).The primary outcome was to evaluate the efficacy of surgical spinal correction for GERD by questionniare in patients with severe kyphotic deformity.

Expected result: 1.To precisely estimate efficacy of kyphosis surgical correction and brace treatment 2. To determine whether spinal correction for kyphosis patients with GERD is a surgical indication for the treatment of GERD along with for the treatment of kyphotic deformity.
