The mechanisms underlying these effects are not well defined. aims our study were determine impact on lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function GERD. Methods In 15 (7 males) GERD (heartburn, % time pH Results Six months after treatment, rate transient LES relaxations (tLESRs) was decreased 37% (p Conclusions GERD, results a reduction tLESRs, an increase basal pressure. These changes result only modest reflux.
