Methods: Twenty-three European experts (otolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons) participated in a modified Delphi process to revise 38 statements about the definition, clinical management, and treatment of LPRD. Three voting rounds were conducted on a 5-point scale and a consensus was defined a priori as agreement by 80% of the experts.

GORD can also be associated with a variety of atypical symptoms, including chest pain, chronic cough, and laryngopharyngeal symptoms.

We therefore investigated the efficacy of a physical exercise program for the treatment of intractable GERD symptoms.
