Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall aim of this study is to assess if patients with persistent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms receiving sub-optimal omeprazole dosing experience improvement in GERD symptoms when prescribed an optimal dosing regimen. The optimal dosing regimen is defined as taking omeprazole 30 minutes prior to the first meal of the day.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

GERD remains a common gastrointestinal complaint, resulting in 6% of outpatient visits. The economic burden is significant with direct costs exceeding $12 billion/year and indirect cost as high as $75 billion/year. The primary aim of this study was determine whether a brief educational intervention optimizing proton pump inhibitor (PPI) dosing would reduce GERD symptoms using the gastroesophageal reflux disease symptom assessment scale (GSAS) questionnaire. Further, secondary analysis would utilize the results of the trial and combine them with costs related to uncontrolled GERD to estimated the potential economic impact.
