Abstract

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease may present with extra-oesophageal symptoms. A wide assortment of questionnaires is available to use for the evaluation of different dimensions of the classical symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. In contrast, there are very few validated questionnaires available which evaluate extra-oesophageal symptoms. In this review specific questionnaires which evaluate variously termed laryngopharyngeal, supra-oesophageal or airway reflux are described and discussed.
