ACHALASIA

This study tests a new device called SpydrBlade Flex for a procedure called POEM in people with achalasia, a condition that makes swallowing difficult. The device uses radiofrequency and microwave energy to cut muscle in the esophagus, helping food pass more easily. Researchers w…

This study looks at how safe and effective a new tool, the Speedboat UltraSlim™, is for a procedure called POEM that helps people with achalasia (a condition where the throat muscles don't relax properly). About 40 adults will be watched for up to a year to see if their swallowin…

This study is watching 600 adults who are already scheduled for a standard procedure called POEM (peroral endoscopic myotomy) to treat swallowing or stomach muscle problems. Researchers will record how well the surgery works over time, including symptom relief and any side effect…

This study looks at using a special green dye (ICG) during a surgery called Heller-Dor for people with achalasia, a swallowing disorder. The dye makes it easier for surgeons to see if there are any leaks or leftover muscle fibers during the operation. The goal is to improve safet…

This study is for 80 adults with achalasia or similar swallowing problems. Researchers want to see how muscle scarring in the esophagus relates to how well the esophageal valve works. By understanding this better, they hope to find ways to treat the disease earlier.

This study is a registry that will gather information from up to 10,000 adults with esophageal problems like GERD, achalasia, or swallowing difficulties. Researchers will collect data from standard tests such as manometry and pH monitoring to better understand these conditions. T…
