New scope treatment eases swallowing woes
NCT ID NCT01512719
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new procedure called POEM for people with achalasia, a condition where the esophagus doesn't relax properly, making swallowing hard. In POEM, doctors cut the tight muscle through a small tunnel inside the esophagus, without any cuts on the outside. The goal was to see if this less invasive treatment could help patients swallow better.
