Abstract

Different factors may be involved in the occurrence of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. This review presents the importance of psychic factors in GERD symptom genesis, especially in patients with no esophagitis. In addition, these factors could be involved in the pharmacological therapy, with educational and behavioral implications increasing the cost-efficacy of the therapy.
