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 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 trial compares two ways of doing a procedure called POEM for people with type II achalasia, a condition where the muscle at the bottom of the esophagus doesn't relax properly. It tests whether a shorter or longer tunnel under the lining of the esophagus works better to help you swallow comfortably.
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 compares two different ways to perform a procedure called POEM for patients with type II achalasia, a swallowing disorder. The goal is to see if a shorter tunnel technique works just as well as the standard longer one.
This study tests detailed ways to measure esophagus movement and symptoms in people with achalasia or other esophagus motility disorders. It may help doctors better diagnose these conditions and improve how treatment planning and outcomes are tracked.
