Safety and Effectiveness of eGERD Device to Reduce Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Symptoms

"The eGERD device is a novel device developed by GerdCare Medical for reducing symptoms of GERD. The device is noninvasive and designed for self-use in the home environment. It is applied on the abdominal skin and generates electrical stimulation pulses.~For optimized effect, the stimulation is synchronized with the breathing phase, such that it is active mainly during inhalation. The stimulation intensity can be adjusted by the user."

The eGERD\_Sham is a sham version of the eGERD device. It is capable of inducing sensation of electrical stimulation pulses in the target abdominal muscles without a therapeutic effect. Aside from this difference, the eGERD\_Sham is identical to the eGERD device.
