Quality of Life After POEM for Achalasia

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder, characterized by insufficient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and loss of esophageal peristalsis. Patients with achalasia experience distressing gastrointestinal symptoms, including dysphagia, reflux and chest pain, which lead to weight loss and malnutrition. Undoubtedly, health-related quality of life can be significantly diminished in patients with achalasia. At present, POEM has become one of the standard therapies for achalasia. Limited studies have focused on the patient's quality of life before and after POEM. The present study aimed to assess the changes in quality of life of patients with achalasia using the validated achalasia severity questionnaire (ASQ) and the short form (SF)-36 scale.
