Weight gain after achalasia treatment study
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how weight changes after treatment for achalasia, a swallowing disorder. It compares two procedures: laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM).

This study compares two treatments for achalasia: a newer procedure called POEM (done through a tube down your throat) versus a balloon dilation (stretching the muscle). It's for people who haven't had surgery before.
This study compares a new way of doing POEM (a procedure to help you swallow) that might reduce heartburn after the procedure. It tests whether preserving a small band of muscle fibers lowers the risk of acid reflux.
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 trial compares different treatments for achalasia or related swallowing problems. It aims to find the best personalized approach to improve your symptoms.
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 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.
