title: [Psycho-physiological aspects of gastroesophageal reflux disease].
abstract: It is well known that there is an interaction between physiological and psychological aspects of gastrointestinal diseases, also in esophageal symptoms. Based on this bio-psycho-social interaction, several multidisciplinary concepts of interventions in gastrointestinal disorders have been evaluated. The role of psychological factors in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is really unknown. The present article reviews the basic pathophysiological factors of GERD including psycho-physiological aspects and presents potential concepts of multidisciplinary GERD treatment.
