Clinical Trial Summary

Achalasia is a rare esophageal motility disorder. Treatment of achalasia is aimed toward palliation of symptoms. These include botox injections to the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), pneumatic dilation, surgical myotomy, and per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). Botox injections are frequently used for patients that have significant comorbidities. The primary aim of this study is to assess symptomatic response of patient with achalasia to esophageal dilation and botox injection to the LES compared to standard therapy of only botox injection.
