Comparing two esophagus tests before surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well two tests — a barium swallow x-ray and a special pressure test of your esophagus — work together in people having surgery to remove their esophagus. It may help doctors understand your condition better before your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove your esophagus.
- You do not have a serious heart, lung, or liver condition.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder that makes you clot poorly.

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.
This study records measurements of how your esophagus (food tube) moves and how the swallowing pathway behaves. It also uses symptom scoring to see how the test results match your swallowing symptoms, which could help improve care for people with swallowing trouble.
This study tests whether reflux surgery can be done safely without a routine test called esophageal manometry (which measures how well your esophagus squeezes). If you have acid reflux or a hiatal hernia, you may be able to join to help determine if this simpler approach works just as well.
This study uses a special tube to measure how your esophagus muscles work while you swallow. It aims to better understand swallowing problems and acid reflux, which could help your doctor choose the right treatment.
This trial compares two ways doctors check the surgical connection (anastomosis) after removing a cancerous part of the esophagus. It looks at whether a flexible tube with a camera (endoscopy) or a special X-ray (esophagram) is better for routine follow-up.
This study tests a new sensor to check how healthy the lining of your esophagus is during a routine upper endoscopy. It may help researchers understand esophageal lining injury and how well it recovers over time.
