To examine the clinical presentation of laryngopharyngeal reflux and evaluate symptomatic and endoscopic treatment responses.
Enrolled 100 consecutive ENT outpatients presenting with clinical features of laryngopharyngeal reflux.
Evaluated patients using the Reflux Symptom Index (RSI ≥13) and endoscopic Reflux Finding Score (RFS >7) before initiating a 4-week course of pantoprazole (40 mg) and domperidone (30 mg) with a 3-month follow-up period.
The most common clinical complaint was a foreign body sensation in the throat (52%), and the predominant endoscopic abnormality was bilateral arytenoid erythema and hyperemia.
The majority of treated individuals demonstrated therapeutic improvement, evidenced by qualitative reductions in both RSI and RFS scores.
