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 trial tests if people with GERD or a hiatal hernia can safely have antireflux surgery without first having a standard esophagus pressure test (manometry). It aims to simplify the process and may help you avoid an extra test before surgery.
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 study looks at how well the esophagus moves food by using a special test called high-resolution manometry. It aims to help diagnose problems like trouble swallowing or chest pain.
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 study looks at how well two types of swallow/esophagus testing match up when people are planning elective esophagus surgery. The results may help doctors choose the most useful tests before surgery.
This study checks whether a special test of the esophagus after meals can find the exact reason for ongoing reflux symptoms when proton pump pills (PPIs) don’t help. It may help doctors choose the right next treatment for people whose reflux symptoms keep coming back.
