Test manometry after partial anti-reflux surgery
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have abnormal esophagus squeezing on a prior swallowing test (ineffective motility), not normal movement.
- You have already had partial anti-reflux surgery (180° front or 270° back, often called a fundoplication).
- You are able to give informed consent (sign the consent form).
- You should not be currently pregnant.
- You do not have a specific other esophagus disorder (like Nutcracker or Jackhammer).

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 trial compares two surgeries to treat achalasia, a condition where the esophagus fails to push food into the stomach. Both procedures aim to relax the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus, and the study will see which one works better for improving your symptoms.
This study looks at a specific treatment (“ARAT”) to help people who develop acid reflux after a procedure called POEM for achalasia. It may help reduce reflux symptoms and abnormal acid levels in the stomach/esophagus after the original procedure.
This trial is testing a device called RefluxStop™ that is implanted during keyhole surgery to treat acid reflux (GERD). The study will check how safe and effective the device is for people with long-term GERD, and it aims to help reduce heartburn and other reflux symptoms.
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 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.
