Mucosal impedance testing for chronic esophagus issues
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special device during an upper endoscopy to measure the electrical properties of the esophagus lining, which may help diagnose chronic reflux or swallowing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are coming in for an upper endoscopy (a camera test of the food pipe).
- You have ongoing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, or trouble swallowing.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You do not have a narrowing, cancer, or bleeding risk in the esophagus.
- You are not on blood thinners on the day of the procedure.

This trial looks at how well a special test (pH-impedance) can diagnose GERD (acid reflux disease) when done correctly. It will use a new way to read the test results to see if it helps doctors classify GERD better.
This study tracks patients with reflux, swallowing problems, or other esophageal symptoms to understand how the esophagus moves. It may help if you have heartburn, regurgitation, or related issues like cough or chest pain.
This study looks at how eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus and intestines affects outcomes like symptoms and test findings. It may help clinicians better understand these conditions and track what changes over time.
This study uses special probes to measure the movement and pressure in your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) to better understand swallowing problems like achalasia, GERD, and other conditions. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these issues.
This study looks at how a device affects how the esophagus muscles squeeze and relax. It may help people better understand swallowing problems, even if their usual esophagus test looks normal.
This study tests a new way to measure how your esophagus lining reacts to acid (called mucosal impedance) to help diagnose GERD. It's for people who still have symptoms even after taking standard medication for 8 weeks.
