The application relates to a composition for treating reflux esophagitis and application thereof. The composition comprises the following components in parts by weight: 2-8 parts of scutellaria baicalensis, 3-7 parts of licorice, 5-10 parts of beeswax and 80-120 parts of vegetable oil. The composition for treating reflux esophagitis contains scutellaria baicalensis, licorice, beeswax and vegetable oil, and through mutual cooperation among the components, the drug prepared from the composition can significantly increase the plasma motilin level of a patient, further increase the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter, promote gastric emptying and prevent acid reflux, promote the recovery of reflux esophagitis, the esophagus of the patient is obviously improved, and no adverse reaction is found; meanwhile, the content of lipid peroxide can be obviously reduced, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase are increased, the esophageal mucosa is protected and treated, the pathological changes of the esophagus are obviously improved, and the treatment effect is excellent.

Systems and methods for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) includes minimally invasively implanting a stimulating device in a patient's esophagus in the region proximate the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The patient is provided with a questionnaire related to his disease via an online service. The questionnaire is accessed on a mobile device, such as a cell phone, or on a computer with network access. The data from the sensors and the answers from the questionnaire are analyzed together by a health care provider using the online service. The data and answers are used to program the stimulating device, via the mobile device or computer, to optimize treatment.

A surgical method of treating reflux disease comprising the steps of dissecting an outside of a fundus of a stomach at least partially down on a posterior side of the outside of the fundus, dissecting an esophagus such that the esophagus is disconnected from surrounding tissue at least 3 cm in a cranial direction from an angle of His, connecting the fundus to the esophagus, and placing an implantable movement restriction device between the angle of His and a diaphragm, such that a lower esophageal sphincter is prevented from sliding through an esophageal hiatus.

Systems and methods for treating a gastrointestinal condition of a patient includes minimally invasively implanting a modular or non-modular stimulation system in a patient's treatment site. The treatment site is in or on a gastric wall and electrical stimulation is provided to the gastric wall to improve a function or pressure a lower esophageal sphincter of the patient. Electrical stimulation is provided for a short period of time and treatment efficacy is evaluated through clinical results and patient reporting. If therapy is not effective, stimulation parameters may be changed.
