Randomized trial: Proton pump inhibitors do not benefit patients with persistent throat symptoms

Use of proton pump inhibitors to treat persistent throat symptoms: multicentre, double blind, randomised, placebo controlled trial – The BMJ

Commentary on Twitter

Medicating random throat symptoms with proton pump inhibitors (for months) has, somehow, become routine care despite no gd evidence it actually helps.

So guess what happens if you compare 16 wk of double dose PPI with placebo in a proper trial?

…Yeah.https://t.co/mrnq4tcEUk pic.twitter.com/uZo630Sg9j
