Endoscopic treatment for Zenker’s diverticulum symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at an endoscopic (camera-based) procedure to help symptoms from Zenker’s diverticulum, which is a swallowing-related pouch. If you have symptoms and you’re not pregnant or breastfeeding, this study may be worth considering.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptomatic Zenker’s diverticulum (trouble swallowing and related symptoms)
- You are planned to be treated with an endoscopic procedure (using a camera to reach the area)
- You are not pregnant
- You are not breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests an endoscopic procedure to treat Zenker's diverticulum, a pouch that forms in the throat and can cause swallowing problems. It is for adults who have symptoms and have not had prior treatment for this condition.
This trial studies people with Zenker’s diverticulum (or a related condition called CP bar) in the throat and upper food pipe. It looks at outcomes when the “shared wall” is divided using an open or endoscopic approach, or when surgery isn’t possible but follow-up can happen.
This study keeps a record of people who choose an advanced endoscopy procedure (like ESD, EMR, advanced polypectomy, POEM, or treatment for Zenker’s). It aims to learn about real-world outcomes and safety, which may help improve care for future patients.
This trial tests whether an endoscopic fundoplication procedure (a reflux surgery done through the scope) using the MUSE system can better control long-term reflux symptoms. It likely fits people with chronic reflux confirmed by testing who may be candidates for surgical treatment.
This trial looks at people (18 or older) who already had a digestive tract tumor removed using an endoscopy procedure. It may help doctors learn how this approach works and what outcomes to expect after removal.
This trial tests a procedure called Endoscopic Cardial Constriction Ligation (ECCL) to help people whose acid reflux doesn't improve with strong medication. It uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to tighten the valve between the stomach and esophagus.
