Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder with limited treatment options. Complementary and alternative therapy (CAT) may be a promising option to fill the treatment gap, including dietary and lifestyle modifications, traditional Chinese medicine, and brain-gut behavior therapy.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a widely prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, affecting similar to 13.3% of the global population. There are shortages and limitations of current GERD treatment modalities, and complementary and alternative therapy (CAT) is a promising option to fill in the gap. Dietary and lifestyle modifications might play an important and complementary role in alleviating GERD symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine and brain-gut behavior therapy, particularly transcutaneous electrical acustimulation and diaphragmatic breathing therapy were shown to be useful adjuncts or alternatives in treating GERD. CAT may help to relieve GERD symptoms, minimize medication dosage, and slow the demand for surgery. The aim of this review was to summarize the existing evidence of some common CATs in treating symptomatic GERD, including dietary modification, lifestyle change, traditional Chinese medicine, and brain-gut behavior therapy.
