Clinical Trial Summary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is involved in the development of esophageal motility disorders like Jackhammer esophagus (JE), a novel hypercontractile condition that was associated with progression to achalasia and limited outcomes following surgical anti-reflux therapy.

This trial was designed to assess the prevalence and characteristics of JE in patients with typical symptoms of GERD and responsiveness to PPI therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

Jackhammer esophagus is a novel hypercontractile esophageal disorder. The investigators assess the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with this disorder out of a collective of patients that are referred with symptoms of gastroesphageal reflux disease and respond to PPI. This is an observational trial. ;
