Which POEM technique works best for achalasia? new study aims to find out.

This study compares two versions of a procedure called POEM for people with achalasia, a condition where the esophagus doesn't relax properly, making swallowing difficult. About 52 adults with type I or II achalasia will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard circular muscle cut or a full-thickness cut. The goal is to see which approach better relieves symptoms like trouble swallowing, chest pain, and weight loss.
