Abstract:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common digestive disease characterized by heartburn and acid reflux. In recent years, many studies have shown that esophageal hypersensitivity is an important pathophysiological mechanism involved in the occurrence and development of heartburn. Esophageal sensory receptors including transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), prostaglandin E
