Esophageal Motility Disorders clinical trials
Below are recruiting esophageal motility disorders clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 14 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05132816Recruiting
Test manometry after partial anti-reflux surgery
This study checks how well a swallowing test called high-resolution manometry works after partial anti-reflux surgery. It focuses on adults with certain abnormal esophagus muscle patterns to help doctors understand what to expect after the operation.
Schlieren, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06835374Recruiting
Comparing esophagitis in people with and without motility issues
This study looks at patients who have a swallowing disorder called achalasia and also show signs of acid reflux damage (esophagitis). It compares these patients to those without motility problems to better understand the link.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–75 - NCT07506746Recruiting
Study on esophagus movement
This study tracks patients with reflux, swallowing problems, or other esophageal symptoms to understand how the esophagus moves. It may help if you have heartburn, regurgitation, or related issues like cough or chest pain.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07121803Recruiting
Special ice cream for esophagus health in diabetes
This study tests whether a special ice cream can help the esophagus (the tube that carries food to your stomach) work better in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to see if the ice cream can improve how food moves down the esophagus.
MoscowAges 18–80 - NCT05455359RecruitingPhase 4
Tube-fed children at high risk for aspiration pneumonia
This Phase 4 study looks at gastrointestinal movement (dysmotility) and how it may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children who eat through a tube and have swallowing safety problems. It may help doctors better prevent lung infections in children who cough/choke and need suction often.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–21 - NCT05905016Recruiting
Testing an endoscopy procedure for gut movement problems
This study looks at how useful the POEM procedure is for people with gut “motility” (trouble moving food through the digestive tract). If you’re already scheduled for POEM, your team will also track how well it helps and whether it’s practical in real care.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07496840Recruiting
Speedboat UltraSlim in POEM for swallowing disorders
This study is testing a new device called Speedboat UltraSlim™ during a procedure called POEM (per-oral endoscopic myotomy), which is used to treat achalasia and other swallowing disorders. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well for people already scheduled for this surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07708467Enrolling by invitation
Esophageal function study in eosinophilic esophagitis
This study looks at how the esophagus stretches and moves in people with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) who still have symptoms even though their inflammation is under control. The goal is to better understand why symptoms persist and find better ways to measure them.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT06883175Recruiting
New ways to measure how your esophagus works
This study uses special probes to measure the movement and pressure in your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) to better understand swallowing problems like achalasia, GERD, and other conditions. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these issues.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07458555Enrolling by invitation
Anesthetic impact on FLIP measurements
This trial looks at how different anesthetics affect FLIP measurements during endoscopy or POEM for esophageal problems. FLIP helps doctors check how well the esophagus opens and closes.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04661215Recruiting
Testing stomach opening muscle problems in people with gastroparesis
This study looks at whether abnormal function of the pyloric “stomach outlet” muscle is linked to gastroparesis symptoms (slow stomach emptying). It may help researchers better understand what causes symptoms and guide future treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT06778824Recruiting
Brain-gut medicine trial for chronic esophagus issues
This trial tests a type of brain-gut medicine to see if it helps with ongoing esophagus problems like heartburn, acid reflux, a lump in the throat, trouble swallowing, or chest pain. It might help if other treatments haven't worked well.
Hualien CityAges 18–75 - NCT06939465Recruiting
Cognitive therapy for throat and chest symptoms
This trial tests if a cognitive-behavioral therapy (a type of talk therapy that helps change thoughts and habits) can improve chronic throat and chest symptoms like heartburn, reflux, lump in throat, or trouble swallowing. It is for people who have these symptoms without a known structural problem in the esophagus.
Hualien CityAges 18–75 - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal motility disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting esophageal motility disorders studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a esophageal motility disorders trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a esophageal motility disorders trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
