Study of esophageal function in achalasia after POEM treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a special swallowing test (high-resolution manometry with impedance) to see how well the esophagus clears food and liquid after a POEM procedure for achalasia. It may help doctors understand if the treatment is working properly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a POEM procedure at Bordeaux University Hospital between October 2020 and September 2024.
- Your POEM treatment was successful (no primary failure).
- You have completed the required tests (endoscopy, timed barium swallow, and high-resolution manometry) before and 3 months after the POEM procedure.
- You have not been lost to follow-up.

This study compares different versions of a procedure called POEM for treating achalasia, a condition where the food pipe has trouble moving food into the stomach. You may be considered if you have specific achalasia types and symptoms that are still significant despite treatment.
This trial studies how malnutrition affects breathing and kidney function in people with achalasia who undergo a procedure called POEM to help with swallowing. It may help doctors better care for patients before and after the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of making the cut during a POEM procedure (a treatment for achalasia) to see which one works better. It's for people with achalasia or similar swallowing problems who are planning to have a POEM.
This trial looks at a procedure called POEM, followed by prolonged stretching, to treat swallowing problems caused by specific esophagus muscle disorders. If you have the right diagnosis and can safely have an endoscopy, this may help improve how well food moves through your esophagus.
This study tests whether taking a stomach acid–reducing medicine every day (a protein pump inhibitor, or PPI) works better than taking it only when symptoms happen after POEM for achalasia. It aims to prevent gastroesophageal reflux after the procedure.
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.
