This study tests a procedure called POEM-F for achalasia types I–II or III. It may help people who haven't had treatment or who've had balloon dilation before.
This trial looks at people who had a procedure called POEM for achalasia and want to understand outcomes after that treatment. If you’re an adult and already had POEM for achalasia, you may be able to join.
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.
This trial studies how well POEM and other endoscopy-based (through-the mouth) treatments work for conditions like acid reflux, achalasia (trouble moving food), and Barrett’s esophagus. It may help doctors compare outcomes and choose the safest, most effective procedure for your situation.
This trial compares different treatments for achalasia or related swallowing problems. It aims to find the best personalized approach to improve your symptoms.
