Twenty symptomatic patients without erosive esophagitis underwent 24-h esophageal pH monitoring after failing standard medical antireflux treatment. Sixty-five percent had abnormal esophageal acid exposure, and the majority of these improved on proton pump inhibitor therapy. However, 35% had a normal 24-h pH test. One patient had coronary artery disease, one had diffuse esophageal spasm, and two had a negative work-up and no improvement with omeprazole. Consequently, we suggest that patients like these have an omeprazole trial. If symptoms persist, 24-h esophageal pH monitoring can appropriately define more rational management. Patients with abnormal esophageal acid exposure will require more aggressive acid-control therapy, whereas those with normal esophageal acid exposure will need further work-up to assess the cause of their symptoms.
