Comparing electrical tools for POEM surgery
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of electrical tools used during a POEM procedure to treat swallowing problems. It aims to find which tool works better for patients with esophageal motility disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a POEM procedure for a swallowing problem.
- Your swallowing problem was confirmed with specialized tests.
- You do not have varices (enlarged veins) in your esophagus.
- You do not have tumors in your esophagus.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder that can't be fixed.

This study compares two ways of doing a surgery called POEM to treat achalasia, a condition where the esophagus doesn't empty properly. The surgery cuts the muscle at the lower end of the esophagus to help food pass more easily. The trial will see if cutting the muscle partially works as well as cutting it all the way through.
This trial tests a new tool (SpydrBlade) during a procedure called POEM to help people with swallowing problems like achalasia. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well.
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 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 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 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.
