Commentary on: Treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux using a sleep positioning device: A prospective cohort study

We reviewed the paper entitled "Treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux using a sleep positioning device: A prospective cohort study," by Tierney et al. [1] with interest. This is an excellent work. Use of the sleep positioning device constitutes a minimally invasive treatment approach, resulting in more comfortable sleep and an improvement in the symptoms of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). However, the authors did not describe the symptoms of the upper gastrointestinal tract or the performance of gastroscopy or 24-hour oropharyngeal or esophageal pH monitoring.
