About this study
Official title: The Effect of Non-Invasive Electrical Stimulation Therapy on Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the eGERD device, which is a novel device for treating Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
The main questions this research aims to answer are:
Read more
- Does the eGERD device reduce acidity in the esophagus?
- Does the eGERD device reduce GERD symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation?
- What medical problems do participants have when using the eGERD device?
To assess the acidity in the esophagus, a wireless standard-of-care capsule called Bravo will be placed in the participants esophagus (throat) for several days.
To assess GERD symptoms, participants will be requested to report symptoms they experience using a smartphone application.
Researchers will compare a real version of the eGERD device to a sham version (a look-alike device that has no therapeutic effect) to see if the eGERD device is effective in treating GERD.
Read the detailed description
The study includes two consecutive phases: a 14-day washout phase followed by a 28-day device treatment phase.
The washout phase starts on or shortly after the Screening visit, in which the participants sign the informed consent form (ICF) and their eligibility criteria are assessed. The first day of the washout phase is considered Day 1 of the study.
In the washout phase, participants are instructed to avoid any GERD-treatment medications (including antacids), either prescribed or over-the-counter (OTC), and to keep their regular daily routines.
Participants are also instructed to report occurrence and severity of GERD-related symptoms using the eGERD smartphone application.
GERD-HRQL questionnaire are filled at the onset (Day 1) and at the end (Day 14) of this phase. Questionnaire score obtained at the end of the washout phase (QoL Score baseline) are regarded as baseline for the QoL secondary endpoint.
On the last day of the washout phase (Day 14), a 24h wireless pH monitoring test (Bravo) is initiated, in order to obtain acid exposure time (AET) and DeMeester score (DM) baseline levels.
The device treatment phase consists of continuous usage of the study device for 28 days.
At the onset of the device treatment phase, the pH monitoring data is downloaded and analyzed, to establish AET and DM baseline levels. To be eligible for randomization and study device usage, a participant must have (i) at least 18 hours of baseline monitoring data , and (ii) abnormal baseline AET (above 6%). Ineligible subjects are classified as screen failures. participants with insufficient baseline monitoring data (less than 18 monitoring hours) are offered to extend the baseline monitoring for another 24 hours.
Upon establishing participant eligibility and performing randomization, a new 96h wireless pH monitoring test is initiated using the same Bravo capsule already in place. At the same time, the participant starts using the study device. One day later, a short clinic visit is held in which proper operation of the study device is verified. At the end of the 96h pH monitoring test, the monitoring system is collected and the data downloaded.
Usage of the study device is continued from randomization for 28 days. Esophageal acid exposure time (AET) and DeMeester score (DM) obtained from the 24h wireless pH monitoring test are regarded as baseline for AET primary endpoint and DeMeester score secondary endpoint, respectively.
Esophageal acid exposure time and DeMeester score obtained from the last Complete Monitoring Day of the 96h monitoring test are considered AET primary endpoint and DeMeester score secondary endpoint, respectively.
Throughout this phase, participants are using a study device (either functional or sham), after receiving instructions on its usage. Participants are instructed to use the study device 24 hours per day, 7 days per week (excluding device charging, bathing, sporting, private situations, etc.).
Usage of antacids (Gaviscon Regular Strength antacid tablets, 2-4 tablets, up to 4 times a day) as a rescue treatment is allowed after the Bravo system has been collected from the participant (Day 19). Rescue treatment usage is reported and recorded. Usage of any other type of GERD-treatment is prohibited throughout the entire phase.
GERD-HRQL questionnaire is filled at the end of this phase (or on end-of-study visit, in case of early termination). Resulting score is regarded as QoL secondary endpoint.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
eGERD deviceDevice
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.
eGERD_ShamDevice
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.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Experimental | Participants in the active arm will be using a functional version of the investigational device for 28 days. Receives: Device: eGERD device |
| Control | Sham comparator | Participants in the control arm will be using a sham version of the investigational device for 28 days. Receives: Device: eGERD_Sham |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing eGERD device in people with GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), run by Gerd Care Medical Ltd at 5 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 28 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 5 sites in Israel, United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number and severity of Adverse Device Effects (ADEs) (time frame: From the beginning (Day 15) to the end (Day 42) of the device treatment phase). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2026.
