First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study compares two procedures—balloon dilation and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)—to see which works better for children with achalasia cardia, a condition that makes it hard to swallow. About 70 children aged 3 to 17 will be randomly assigned to one treatment, and if it doesn't help, they can switch to the other. The goal is to improve symptoms like trouble swallowing and chest pain, and to track side effects and growth over one year.
