Changes in the NRS, GerdQ, FSSG, and EQ-5D scores.

	Baseline (n = 35)	After 30 d (n = 35)	After 60 d (n = 35)	P-value
				30 da	60 db
NRS	6.8 ± 1.2	3.4 ± 2.0	2.3 ± 1.4	<.0001*	<.0001*
GerdQ	10.1 ± 1.6	5.9 ± 3.4	4.6 ± 2.7	<.0001*	<.0001*
FSSG	22.2 ± 6.5	11.4 ± 5.3	8.4 ± 5.5	<.0001*	<.0001*
EQ-5D-5L	0.841 ± 0.092	0.902 ± 0.092	0.934 ± 0.089	<.0001*	<.0001*
EQ-VAS	64.3 ± 18.9	73.9 ± 18.6	79.5 ± 15.1	<.0001*	<.0001*

Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. P-values are calculated by Student paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, depending on the normality.

EQ-5D-5L = Euro-Quality Of Life - 5 Dimension – 5 Level, EQ-VAS = Euro-Quality Of Life visual analogue scale, FSSG = Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD, GerdQ = gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire, NRS = numerical rating scale.
