Achalasia: Mechanisms Underlying Treatment Failure

NCT02055469 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2023-09-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In patients with achalasia, the relationship between the perception of dysphagia, oesophageal emptying, lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) distensibility and oesophageal circular and longitudinal muscle contraction is not clear.

We aim to characterize oesophageal circumferential and longitudinal muscle contractility and LOS distensibility in patients with achalasia (either before or after treatment). This may allow an understanding of the mechanisms underlying persistent dysphagia and delayed oesophageal emptying after treatment.
