What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change of GERD Q Scale

    GerdQ was developed through the integration of validated questionnaires reflecting psychological problems and the data of diagnoses of GERD in primary and secondary medical institutions. GerdQ is used for the diagnosis and management of GERD with good authenticity and reliability. GerdQ has six items: heartburn, regurgitation, abdominal pain, nausea, sleep disorders and use of OTC medications. The score is evaluated according to the frequency of every item occurred in recent one week. 0 day, 1 day, 2-3 days, 4-7days respectively assessed to the score of 0, 1, 2 and 3 in the items of heartburn, regurgitation, sleep disorders and use of OTC medications. 0 day, 1 day, 2-3 days, 4-7days respectively assessed to the score of 3, 2, 1 and 0 in the items of abdominal pain and nausea.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change of TCM Syndrome Questionnaire

    The scale is based on the Clinical Guideline of New Drugs for Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is uesd to evaluate the discomfort of gastrointestinal system based on TCM theory. It contains 15 items of TCM terminology which used to assess severity of physical discomfort (0 = absent; 1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe). The main concerns of these items include stomach distension, stomachache, appetite decrease, heartburn, acid regurgitation, sputum increase, feeling of obstruction in pharynx, feeling thirsty but not want water, feeling of distention on both sides of the lower abdomen, limbs weakness, short of breath, feeling weak and unwilling to speak, somatosensory heaviness, feeling afraid of the cold and having loose stool.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  2. Change of 36-Item Short Form Survey Instrument(SF-36)

    SF-36 reflects healthy condition.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  3. Change of Patients Report Clinical Outcomes(PRO)

    The PRO was developed by the digestive department of Xiyuan hospital. Considering the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases in China, we have spended two years to collect measurement indicators, screen and optimizing items, implement pre-survey of small samples and field survey, and finally formulated this current PRO. It contains 35 items in six dimensions (regurgitation, dyspepsia, physical status, ability to life, defecation situation and mental state). Our analysis of 274 questionnaires show that the PRO has good reliability and validity in reflecting the situation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Every item in PRO has five levels of discomfort(never, occasionally, sometimes, often, always) and they respectively represent the score of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  4. Change of the Hamilton Depression Scale 17 item (HAMD17)

    The scoring criteria of the scale were :(0)none;(1)mild;(2)moderate;(3)severe;(4) extremely heavy.A few items use the 3-grade scoring method with 0-2 points, and the grading standard is :(0) none;(1) mild to moderate;(2) severely.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  5. Safety outcomes

    Safty indexs contain adverse event, general medical examination, blood biochemical examination, urine and stool routine test and electrocardiography.

    Time frame: 6 weeks
