What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate the effect of the Reflux Band Upper Esophageal Sphincter UES Assist Device on reflux in patients who have undergone lung transplantation. The study focuses on lung transplant recipients who experience reflux, with the goal of assessing changes in reflux-related biomarkers over time. Participants will first go through a four-week period without wearing the Reflux Band. After this initial phase, they will wear the Reflux Band while sleeping for the subsequent four weeks. The device is intended to assist the upper esophageal sphincter to reduce reflux episodes. Throughout the study, researchers will measure changes in pepsin and amylase levels at baseline, week 4, and week 8. Participants will be monitored for reflux changes during these time points to assess the devices impact. The studys total duration for each participant is eight weeks, with assessments aligned to the device usage schedule.
