Shorter surgery could reduce heartburn risk for swallowing disorder
NCT ID NCT07293650
Summary
This study is comparing two versions of a common surgery for achalasia, a condition that makes swallowing difficult. Researchers want to see if making a shorter cut in the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus works just as well as the standard, longer cut at relieving symptoms. They believe the shorter cut might lead to fewer long-term side effects, like acid reflux. About 370 adults with achalasia will be randomly assigned to receive either the short or standard version of the surgery and followed for two years.
