Summary
This study tracks how well a non-surgical procedure called POEM works for people with achalasia, a condition that makes swallowing difficult. POEM uses an endoscope (a thin tube) to cut the tight muscle at the bottom of the esophagus without any cuts on the body. The goal is to improve symptoms like trouble swallowing, chest pain, and weight loss. Up to 5,000 adults with achalasia will be followed to see if their symptoms get better.
