Achalasia Clinical Trials

Achalasia cardia patients admitted in Asian institute of gastroenterology for POEM procedure will undergo randomization in 1:1 ratio (after they meet the inclusion criteria)- Conventional Group and Oblique sling fiber sparing Group. Conventional Group will be those who have undergone standard Posterior myotomy by cutting of circular muscle fibers in ...

POEM is a novel minimally invasive treatment for achalasia, which emerged as an offshoot of natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). Major adverse events during POEM are rare and therefore, the procedure is considered safe. Bacteremia can occur after endoscopic procedures like esophageal dilation, sclerotherapy of varices, and instrumentation of ...

Prior to surgery, all patients undergo upper endoscopy , x-ray "time barium" manometry, 24 hours pH registration. Moreover Quality of Life instrument (RAND-36), GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) and a dysphagia score (Eckardt score) are completed by all patients. Follow-up with surveys 3, 6, 12, and 36 months (GSRS, RAND-36 ...

Achalasia is a primary esophageal motility disorder characterized on high-resolution manometry (HRM) studies by 100% failed peristalsis and elevated integrated relaxation pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter. It is further divided into 3 sub-types according to the Chicago classification v3.01. The pathophysiology of achalasia is poorly understood; however, the NGEU ...

Patients either diagnosed with or being evaluated for achalasia and scheduled for standard clinic visits with the principal investigator as part of their routine care will be considered for participation in this study. Blood work, vital signs, and 24-hour dietary recall will be collected over a period of one year. ...

Information about the subject's medical history, leading up to the need for an Achalasia treatment, the procedure itself and how the subject does after the procedure, including after the subject gets home, will be collected. This will be done by gathering relevant information from the subject's medical chart and/or by ...

Achalasia is one of the most studied esophageal motility disorders. The etiology of Achalasia is autoimmune, neurodegenerative, or viral immune. Achalasia is a consequence of the degeneration of ganglion cells in the myenteric plexus of the esophageal body and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The end result of the inflammatory ...

This is a non-randomized, non-inferiority trial that has been created to compare results of achalasia procedures including but not limited to: POEM + Partial Fundoplication (PF), POEM and Laparoscopic Modified Heller Myotomy + PF and POEM + Peroral Plication of the esophagus. Using a set of consistent evaluation tools for ...

We will enroll patients with esophageal cancer, patients who are at risk for developing esophageal cancer, and patients who have a non-cancerous esophageal disorder. All patients will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about their general health and personal habits, and about their relatives' medical history; this will be ...

Background: Congenital anomalies have risen to become the 5th leading cause of death in children under 5-years of age globally, yet limited literature exists, particularly from lowand middle-income countries (LMICs) where most of these deaths occur. Aim: To undertake a multi-centre prospective cohort study of congenital anomalies to compare outcomes ...
