The therapeutic approach in the present study reflects the real-life management of symptomatic GERD in primary care, where a patient would typically be prescribed empiric therapy with a PPI and only be referred for endoscopy, if symptoms had not resolved after 4 weeks.

Spanish translation:se le recetaría un tratamiento provisional
Explanation:
Empiric therapy
Empiric therapy is a medical term referring to the initiation of treatment prior to determination of a firm diagnosis. It is most often used when antibiotics are given to a person before the specific microorganism causing an infection is known. Examples of this include antibiotics given for pneumonia and urinary tract infections.
(wikipedia)

Según el Diccionario de dudas de medicina inglés español de F. Navarro, es preferible la traducción de "tratamiento provisional".

Saludos a todos

se le realizaría una prueba terapéutica


Explanation:
En el caso del manejo de los pacientes con enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofagico, el consenso de Montreal, define que es posible ante la presencia de síntomas realizar el diagnóstico mediante una gastroscopia o una prueba terapeutica (donde si se alivian los sintomas por el medicamento se diagnostica la enfermedad).

Adjunto en google ves varias páginas sobre el mismo lenguaje técnico.

Los colegas tienen razon en traducir el término directamente como empirico, pero en el campo se utiliza mas prueba terapeutica.

Suerte,
