简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate whether a 3-week treatment with an oral melt in mouth medical device, made up with hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate and magnesium trisilicate, can lead to a reduction of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease symptoms and to an improvement of the integrity of esophageal mucosa in patients who are to experiencing esophagus symptoms. The study is a randomized, double-blind cross-over placebo controlled study. Every patient will get both the active study device during one study period and placebo during another another period.
