This study at Northwestern University is looking for people with certain severe esophageal motility disorders (like achalasia) to see if a personalized medicine approach can improve treatment. It focuses on those who haven't had prior surgery or recent endoscopic treatments.
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 trial tests two muscle-cutting procedures for people newly diagnosed with type 2 achalasia (a swallowing disorder). The goal is to see if a more complex myotomy works better than the standard one.
This study looks at how well the esophagus works in people with swallowing problems, to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This study compares two ways of performing a procedure called POEM (a type of keyhole surgery through the mouth) to treat type 2 achalasia, a condition where the esophagus fails to relax and makes swallowing difficult. The goal is to see which technique is better at relieving symptoms while minimizing risks.
This study tests whether a shorter or longer tunnel inside the esophagus works better during a procedure called POEM (Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy) to treat type II achalasia, a swallowing problem. The goal is to find out which method gives better symptom relief with fewer risks.
