Abstract:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a widely prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, affecting ∼13.3% of the global population. There are shortages and limitations of current GERD treatment modalities, and complementary and alternative therapy (CAT) is a promising option to fill in the gap. Dietary and lifestyle modifications might play an important and complementary role in alleviating GERD symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine and brain-gut behavior therapy, particularly transcutaneous electrical acustimulation and diaphragmatic breathing therapy were shown to be useful adjuncts or alternatives in treating GERD. CAT may help to relieve GERD symptoms, minimize medication dosage, and slow the demand for surgery. The aim of this review was to summarize the existing evidence of some common CATs in treating symptomatic GERD, including dietary modification, lifestyle change, traditional Chinese medicine, and brain-gut behavior therapy.
摘要:
胃食管反流病(GERD)是一种广泛流行的胃肠道疾病,影响全球13.3%的人口。目前GERD治疗方式存在不足和局限性,补充和替代疗法(CAT)是填补这一空白的有希望的选择。饮食和生活方式的改变可能在缓解GERD症状方面发挥重要的补充作用。中医与脑肠行为疗法,特别是经皮电刺激和膈肌呼吸治疗被证明是治疗GERD的有用辅助手段或替代方案.CAT可能有助于缓解GERD症状,尽量减少药物剂量,减缓手术的需求。这篇综述的目的是总结一些常见的CAT治疗有症状GERD的现有证据。包括饮食调整,生活方式的改变,中药,和脑肠行为疗法。
