Clinical Studies

A feasibility study of virtual reality for the treatment of non-cardiac chest pain Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to determine if virtual reality (VR) will improve symptoms in non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP).
Breath testing for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in patients treated with proton pump inhibitors Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in patients with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease treated with proton pump inhibitors.
Establishing pressures at the esophagogastric junction during diaphragmatic breathing using high-resolution esophageal manometry Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to determine which position, maneuvers, commands, or combination thereof generates the highest pressure at the EGJ as assessed by high-resolution esophageal manometry and thus greater or more robust contraction of the diaphragm.
Long term outcomes in patients with ineffective esophageal motility Jacksonville, FL
The goal of this study is to assess long-term outcomes in patients diagnosed with ineffective esophageal motility on high-resolution esophageal manometry including symptoms, treatments, and burden of diagnostic testing and medical evaluation.

Association of Nailfold Video Capillaroscopy Testing with Esophageal Dysmotility in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to assess findings on nailfold video capillaroscopy (NVC) and their association with esophageal dysfunction, specifically esophageal symptoms through self- reported questionnaires and dysmotility assessed by high-resolution manometry (HRM) in patients with concern for systemic sclerosis, which may provide prognostic or diagnostic information using a noninvasive quick and safe procedure.
