Brief Summary  

This study is a prospective, open label, multicenter, treatment trial to investigate the Effect of Long-Term Electrical Stimulation on Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) Pressure and Esophageal Acid Exposure in Patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) that will be conducted on 30 patients in 8 countries (Chile, Colombia, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, and India) over an eight-month period encompassing initiation of enrollment through six months follow up.

The primary safety endpoint will be assessed by incidence and severity of adverse events through 6 months follow-up. The secondary efficacy endpoint will be assessed by change in GERD symptoms, Lower Esophageal Sphincter End Expiratory Pressure, and Esophageal Acid Exposure over a period of six months from baseline.
