Gastritis is an inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of a medical device, Esoxx®, based on hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate on gastritis-related upper abdominal pain/discomfort and endoscopic features. Fifty patients, affected by gastritis, were randomised to receive the medical device or placebo. The primary endpoint was the medical device efficacy on upper abdominal pain/discomfort associated with gastritis and measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The secondary endpoints were the efficacy of the medical device on gastritis-related mucosal erosions, blood oozing, and hyperemia (redness)/edema, as assessed by endoscopy, and the patients' rating of their compliance with the treatments. A significant reduction in VAS pain was observed in the treatment group after a 5-week treatment, if compared with placebo (p < 0.001). In summary, administration of a medical device, based on hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, improves gastritis-related upper abdominal pain/discomfort and decreases mucosal erosions, blood oozing, and hyperemia (redness)/edema at 5-week follow-up in patients affected by gastritis.
胃炎是胃黏膜的炎症。在这项研究中,我们研究了一种基于透明质酸和硫酸软骨素的医疗器械 Esoxx® 治疗胃炎相关上腹痛/不适和内镜特征的疗效。50 名胃炎患者被随机分为接受医疗器械或安慰剂治疗。主要终点是医疗器械对与胃炎相关的上腹痛/不适的疗效,通过视觉模拟量表(VAS)进行评估。次要终点是医疗器械对胃炎相关黏膜糜烂、出血和充血(发红)/水肿的疗效,通过内镜评估,以及患者对治疗的依从性评分。治疗 5 周后,与安慰剂组相比,治疗组的 VAS 疼痛评分显著降低(p<0.001)。总之,在胃炎患者中,使用基于透明质酸和硫酸软骨素的医疗器械可改善与胃炎相关的上腹痛/不适,并在 5 周随访时减少黏膜糜烂、出血和充血(发红)/水肿。
