Background:To explore whether combined with TCM based on classical proton pumpinhibitors PPIs therapy can achieve better efficacy for patients withlaryngopharyngeal reflux disease. Methods: There were 150 laryngopharyngeal refluxpatients enrolled and divided into three groups randomly, with 50 cases in each group.Patients in group A were treated with the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) lansoprazole.Patients in group B were treated with lansoprazole combined with Banxia Houpudecoction, and patients in group C were treated with acupuncture treatments and acombination of Chinese and Western medicine. The reflux symptom index (RSI), refluxfinding score (RFS), and quality of life (36 item short form health survey questionnaire)were assessed before and 4 and 8 weeks after treatment. Results: The RSI and RFSscores of the three groups were significantly reduced after treatment (P < 0.001). Ingroup B and C, they were lower than in group A at 8 weeks (P < 0.01). The SF 36 scoreof 3 groups increased after treatment. At both 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.001), and patientsin groups B and C scored higher than patients in group A (P < 0.001). The total effectiverate of group B and group C was higher than that of group A (P < 0.05). Conclusion:All three treatments have therapeutic effects on the disease, but the efficacy of a PPIalone is not as good as the combined treatments’ efficacies. Moreover, PPI combinedwith Banxia Houpu decoction and/or acupuncture treatment substantially affects lifeimprovement.

ABSTRACT Background Eustachian tube catarrh could be due to laryngopharyngeal reflux besides other causes. Objectives To assess gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with Eustachian tube catarrh and the effect of proton pump inhibitors on symptoms of Eustachian tube disease. Methodology A total of 50 patients were selected with symptoms of Eustachian tube catarrh and evaluated prospectively in the ENT Outpatient Department of the Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, Puducherry. Results The group consisted of 15 (30%) males and 35 (70%) females. The largest group was of the age of 45 years and above (44%). The most common symptom of Eustachian tube catarrh was itching (84%), followed by otalgia (76%) and popping sensation on swallowing (74%). On otoscopic examination, the commonest grade of tympanic membrane retraction was grade I (57%), on tympanometry 90% of cases had middle ear pressure in range −100 to +100. The middle compliance ranged from 0.5 to 1.75 (normal) in 86% of the cases. The tympanomeric curve was type A (normal) in 78% of the cases and type C in 8% of the cases. At the end of 4 and 8 weeks, the response of treatment to proton pump inhibitors was significantly higher (z = 3.53, p < 0.05) in the studied group. Conclusion Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) could be an important etiological factor in Eustachian tube catarrh. The treatment, with proton pump inhibitors, of Eustachian tube catarrh with no local identifiable cause, could be very useful to this subsect of patients.
