Clinical Efficacy Evaluation of Chaizhi Hewei Decoction in the Treatment of Non-Erosive Reflux Disease With Liver-Stomach Disharmony Syndrome

This study focuses on patients with NERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and liver-gallbladder disharmony syndrome as its research subjects. It conducts a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Chai Zhi He Wei formula in terms of symptom improvement, quality of life, and adverse reactions. On one hand, this research aims to enhance the level of evidence-based medicine for TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment of NERD. On the other hand, it seeks to reduce the dosage of PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) or discontinue their use, addressing the side effects caused by PPI overuse, and serving as a leading example for TCM clinical research. Lastly, the study aims to optimize the efficacy of Tongjiang granules and address potential safety concerns, such as diarrhea.
