| Core Tip |
In this first large-scale multicenter study of overlapping non-erosive reflux disease and epigastric pain syndrome in China, frequent healthcare visits were driven not by symptom severity, but by a profile combining chronicity, psychological distress, and complex medication patterns. A striking interaction between proton pump inhibitor and Chinese herbal medicine use identified a high-need subgroup. These findings highlight the importance of an integrated, psychosomatic approach addressing both peripheral and central mechanisms to reduce the healthcare burden in this population. |
