Comparing two surgical techniques for treating Type 2 Achalasia

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 clinical trial involves randomly assigning eligible patients with Type 2 Achalasia to receive either a standard myotomy or a myotomy focused on the esophagogastric junction complex. The study aims to evaluate the incidence of reflux through 24-hour pH analysis and assess treatment success using the Eckardt score at a three-month follow-up. Additionally, it will analyze recovery of esophageal peristalsis, procedure time, adverse effects, hospital stay duration, and quality of life post-procedure. Participants and care providers will be blinded to the treatment allocation to ensure unbiased results.
