Core Tip	Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy is considered the mainstay for the treatment of non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). However, it is less effective in NERD than it is in reflux esophagitis. This study evaluated the efficacy of adding irsogladine maleate (IM) to PPI therapy in the treatment of NERD. Adding IM to rabeprazole improved both the gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and the quality of the lives of patients with NERD showing no endoscopic abnormalities, a categorization that was based on the modified Los Angeles classification.
