NCT ID NCT05772260

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at whether achalasia patients with autonomic (involuntary) nerve system problems experience more blood pressure instability during a procedure called per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) under general anesthesia. Researchers will test nerve function before surgery and track advanced blood pressure measures during the operation. The goal is to see if a simple nerve test could help predict and manage blood pressure changes during the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could help anesthesiologists anticipate and manage blood pressure swings during POEM in achalasia patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so it can only show an association, not cause and effect. Results may not apply to all achalasia patients or other procedures.
