Heartburn (Pyrosis)

06/26/2000 - "Patients were assessed at weeks 2 and 4. The efficacy of omeprazole for the treatment of heartburn was determined mainly through the following diary card data: daily resolution of heartburn and complete resolution of heartburn every day during 1 week of treatment. "

06/01/1987 - "However, the 89 evaluable ranitidine-treated patients with normal endoscopy also experienced a marked and rapid reduction in heartburn at the end of 1 wk. The symptomatic improvement in the endoscopically abnormal ranitidine patients was significantly greater (p less than 0.05) than that observed in the endoscopically normal ranitidine group. "
10/01/1983 - "The results of a six week double blind placebo controlled trial (stage I) in 36 patients shows that ranitidine (150 mg bd) is superior to placebo in the acute treatment with significant symptomatic improvement concerning heartburn and regurgitation, and in healing or improvement of endoscopic lesions. "
04/01/1999 - "All three ranitidine doses were statistically significantly superior to placebo in providing overall episodic heartburn relief for the first episode (P < 0.002), last episode (P</=0.004), and all episodes combined (P < 0.001). "
04/01/1999 - "The ranitidine 75 mg regimen was clinically (> 10 percentage points) and statistically (P < 0.05) significantly more effective than placebo for all measured efficacy end-points in relieving heartburn and reducing antacid consumption. "

06/01/2002 - "After a 2-wk, single-blind placebo run-in phase, patients were randomized to receive 10 mg or 20 mg of rabeprazole or placebo once daily for 4 wk. Rabeprazole rapidly and effectively relieved heartburn, with significant improvements on day 1 of dosing. "
08/01/2000 - "Rabeprazole was also significantly more effective than placebo in preventing relapse of day-and night-time heartburn severity, maintaining overall patient well-being, and reducing antacid use. "

08/01/2011 - "Administration of 5 mg and 10 mg rabeprazole sufficiently inhibited pathological gastroesophageal acid reflux and relieved heartburn episodes in NERD patients who did not respond to an antacid. "

06/01/2014 - "Antacids and H2 RAs are not recommended for treatment of frequent heartburn, while OTC PPIs are both indicated for, and effective for, treatment of frequent heartburn. "
12/01/2002 - "(i) both gums promptly decreased heartburn and elevated oesophageal pH; (ii) both gums provided sustained relief for 120 min; (iii) antacid gums provided faster and more prolonged symptom relief and pH control than chewable antacids. "

04/01/2012 - "The principal morbidities for seeking self-medication included cough and common cold as reported by 94 students (35.21%) followed by diarrhea (68 students) (25.47%), fever (42 students) (15.73%), headache (40 students) (14.98%) and pain abdomen due to heartburn/ peptic ulcer (23 students) (8.61%). "
04/01/1999 - "Although many rely on self-medication with antacids for the relief of their symptoms, treatments that decrease gastric volume as well as increase the pH of refluxed material should be more effective in relieving heartburn. "

10/01/2003 - "We hypothesized that, in morbidly obese patients, gastric bypass surgery would be as effective as Nissen fundoplication in reducing both heartburn symptoms and esophageal acid exposure, as reflected by the DeMeester score. "
