How Much Does the Stretta Procedure Improve GERD Symptoms?
At least one study has shown that one year after undergoing the Stretta procedure, nearly two-thirds of the patients were able to stop taking all of their acid-blocking medicines. Overall, the patients reported feeling significantly better six months after treatment — and even better at the 12-month mark. Individual results may vary and the long term benefits are uncertain. This procedure is also not without risk; there is potential for serious complications.
