Summary

This study compares two versions of a procedure called POEM for people with achalasia, a condition that makes it hard to swallow. About 52 participants will receive either the standard circular muscle cut or a full-thickness cut. The goal is to see which method better relieves symptoms like chest pain and regurgitation, and which is safer.
