INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: In non-erozive reflux disease (NERD), there is no sufficient study on the effectiveness of diyarragmatic respiratory exercises on pyrosis and regurgitation. Therefore, we aimed at investigating the effectiveness of diyarragmatic respiratory exercises on pyrosis and regurgitation in NERD patients. Method and Requirements: In this study, 50 patients who were diagnosed with NERD and did diyarragmatic breathing exercises in addition to the treatment of the proton pump inhibitors (PPI) were taken with 50 patients who did only PPI treatment, 50 patients who did not exercise were taken. The scores were made in the first and third months of the diyarragmatic breathing exercise program to determine the frequency of pyrosis and regurgitation. Patients' use of PPI was assessed as no use at all, one to three days a week, four to six days a week and every day. There is no difference between the two groups in terms of demographic and laboratory parameters. Comparing the effectiveness of diyarragmatic breathing exercises on pyrosis and regurgitation in the first and third months, a significant decrease in the frequency of pyrosis was observed in patients exercising according to the control group (p<0.001). In these patients, the frequency of use of PPI was observed to decrease according to the control group (p<0.01). PROTECTION and RESULT: NERD patients have long-term or on-demand use of PPI for symptoms. In our study we showed that diyarragmatic breathing exercises in patients with NERD diagnosis reduced the frequency of PPI use by reducing pyrosis and regurgitation complaints.
