Comparing esophagitis in achalasia patients after treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate and compare the characteristics of esophagitis in patients with achalasia who undergo per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) versus those without esophageal motility disorders. It involves collecting demographic data, manometry findings, and follow-up assessments including GERD questionnaires and endoscopic evaluations three months post-procedure. The goal is to understand the impact of POEM on reflux-related erosions and to characterize the differences in esophagitis morphology. Patients will be monitored for changes in symptoms and esophageal function after treatment.
