Summary
This study looks at how safe and effective a new device, the Speedboat UltraSlim™, is when used for a surgery called POEM in people with achalasia or other throat muscle problems. The surgery is already standard care, and researchers will track symptom improvement and any side effects for up to a year. About 40 adults will take part, and no extra treatments or tests are required beyond normal care.
