First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a structured program of dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and nutrient correction can reduce reflux symptoms in patients who had POEM surgery for achalasia. Many patients develop GERD after POEM and rely on long-term acid-reducing medications. The trial compares this program to standard care in 166 adults, with the goal of improving quality of life and reducing medication dependence.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
structured diet and lifestyle program (dietary counseling, micronutrient correction, H. pylori treatment, lifestyle optimization)
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could help many patients reduce or stop their acid-reducing medications and improve their quality of life after POEM surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (166 participants) testing a non-drug intervention, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires strict adherence, and some patients may not benefit or may still need medication.
