Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is a common chronic disorder which has a severe effect on the patient's quality of life. In view of the high cost of medical therapy and the limitations of surgery, a variety of endoscopic techniques have been developed for the treatment of this condition, and these have shown apparently encouraging results, at least in the short- term. However, several inconsistencies have emerged between the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in improving symptoms and quality of life and a lack of improvement of objective parameters. Controlled studies are urgently needed in order to clarify the potential of endoscopic therapy. Currently, the use of endoscopic treatment should be limited to clinical trials.
胃食管反流病是一种常见的慢性疾病，对患者的生活质量有严重影响。鉴于药物治疗成本高昂且手术存在局限性，已开发出多种内镜技术用于治疗这种疾病，并且这些技术至少在短期内显示出了明显令人鼓舞的效果。然而，内镜治疗在改善症状和生活质量方面的疗效与客观参数未得到改善之间出现了一些不一致之处。迫切需要进行对照研究以阐明内镜治疗的潜力。目前，内镜治疗的应用应仅限于临床试验。
