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.

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 trial compares two ways of doing a procedure called POEM (which helps food move through your esophagus) to see if one method causes less heartburn after treatment. If you have achalasia, this study might help you have a more comfortable recovery.
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 measures how flexible the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach) is in children. It uses a special tool called EndoFLIP during a routine colonoscopy, to learn what is normal and potentially help children with swallowing problems in the future.
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.
