OBJECTIVE
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) represents one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, but is still a challenge to cure. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are currently the GERD's standard treatment, although not successful in all patients; some concerns have been raised regarding their long term consumption. Recently, some studies showed the benefits of inspiratory muscle training in increasing the lower esophageal sphincter pressure in patients affected by GERD, thereby…

It was found that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), mediated to a certain extent by somatization, anxiety and poor sleep, but the authors did not describe a contributory pathophysiological mechanism.
