New study aims to sharpen diagnosis of swallowing disorders
NCT ID NCT04503785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two techniques—esophageal manometry and EndoFLIP balloon measurements—to evaluate how well they assess swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). Researchers will enroll up to 1,000 patients with known esophageal conditions to see how these measurements relate to symptom severity. The goal is to improve understanding of esophageal function and refine diagnostic approaches.
