SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of treatment (10-14 days)

Event considered associated with reflux if start time of GERD sign/symptom is within 2 minutes of start time of acid reflux. The number of events are normalized prior to summary to correspond to a complete 8-hour monitoring period. Only patients with data at both baseline and final assessment are included.
