Anesthetic impact on FLIP measurements
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at how different anesthetics affect FLIP measurements during endoscopy or POEM for esophageal problems. FLIP helps doctors check how well the esophagus opens and closes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have trouble swallowing due to achalasia, EGJ-outflow obstruction, or another suspected motility problem.
- You are scheduled for an endoscopy or POEM procedure.
- You have been seen by one of the specific doctors listed.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have no cancer in the esophagus, stomach, chest, or head/neck area, and no history of esophageal surgery like myotomy or fundoplication.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 looks at whether lying on your back or side affects a measurement taken during a routine endoscopy procedure to check how well your esophagus and stomach opening are working. It may help doctors get more accurate readings to guide your care.
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.
This trial studies a way to guide laparoscopic surgery for a paraesophageal (hiatal) hernia using special measurements during the operation (FLIP) and an endoscopy check. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate surgical wrap to better control reflux after surgery.
