It is important for improving the diagnosis via knowing well the clinical manifestations of GERD and related diseases,rational using PPI test,upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and ambulatory esophageal pH/impedance monitoring,and understanding the relationship between the symptoms and reflux events. Different strategies of maintenance therapy should be chosen in accordance with patient's condition for decreasing recurrence. Aggressive acid suppressive therapy,inhibiting gastroesophageal reflux and modulating esophageal hypersensitivity are the main treatment methods for patients with poor response to PPI after ruling out the non-GERD causes.
