Filter by:The goal of this study is to determine which position, maneuvers or combination thereof generates the highest pressure at the EGJ as assessed by high-resolution esophageal manometry and thus greater or more robust contraction of the diaphragm.
A retrospective and prospective cohort, quantitative data collection with the goal of comparing preoperative High Resolution Manometry(HRM) results to Upper Gastrointestinal Marshmallow(UGI MM) results, in patients undergoing preoperative esophageal motility assessments. The aim of this study is to establish a correlation between HRM and UGI MM in order to create a clinically supported gold standard measurement for preoperative esophageal motility assessment.
- detect the prevalence of IEM among upper git symptom . - clarify the role of HRM in diagnosis of refractory upper GIT symptoms.
This is prospective data recording study. All patients will receive standard medical care and no experimental interventions will be performed.
A phase 2, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive drug parallel controlled, multicenter trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of within 8 weeks (including 8 weeks) treatment of Anaprazole 40mg QD, 60mg QD compared with Rabeprazole 20mg QD in patients with reflux esophagitis.
The hypothesis of this study is that esophageal and gastric dysmotility increase the risk of developing aspiration-associated symptoms in children with neurologic impairment. The investigators are conducting a ten week cross over study comparing prucalopride to famotidine for the treatment of aspiration-associated symptoms.
to determine the prevalence and distribution of esophageal motility disorders in NCCP patients who presented after a negative cardiac evaluation and underwent esophageal manometry, esophageal pH monitoring
rapid swallow (MRS) can assess the contractile reserve capacity of the oesophageal body and identify and diagnose oesophageal motility disorders, but the impact of preoperative oesophageal reserve capacity on postoperative symptoms and motility in patients with GERD remains unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of pre-operative oesophageal reserve capacity on post-reflux symptoms and motility in patients with GERD by using a high-resolution oesophageal manometry-based provocation test, MRS, to track pre-operative ineffective oesophageal motility (IEM).
Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) is performed for various esophageal muscular disorders, including achalasia and other spastic esophageal conditions. It is performed with the standard endoscope and involves dissecting the esophageal muscle sphincter. The procedure is typically completed using standard monopolar energy, which are effective, but can be associated with post-procedural pain. More importantly, frequent exchange of various instruments are required in order to cut the right layers and to stop bleeding. The Speedboat-RSD is FDA approved for dissection of various tissue within the gastrointestinal tract tract but only a few studies have evaluated its use in POEM. Currently, the investigators have been performing EGD with POEM procedures using Speedboat-RSD as a standard of care procedure. The investigators would like to compare the performance of the standard monopolar ERBE knife to the bipolar Speedboat-RSD knife in POEM. The investigators hypothesize the bipolar knife will allow for efficient completion of the POEM procedure with less post procedural pain.
This is a combined retro- and prospective, monocentric study. All patients who underwent or are planned for laparoscopic partial fundoplication (180° anterior or 270° posterior) between 2020-2023 are assessed for preoperative ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). The main hypothesis is, that preoperative oesophageal motility disorders, especially hypo-contractility or failed peristalsis, are caused by gastro-oesophageal reflux. Therefore, postoperative manometry after partial wrap fundoplication (270° posterior, 180° anterior) shows a decrease in comparison to preoperative motility disorders. The primary objective of this study is to examine the postoperative esophageal motility in patients with known preoperative motility disorders. Secondary endpoints are the presence of other oesophageal motility disorders pre- vs. postoperatively (including new onset disorders), the assessment of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) pre- vs. postoperatively, and more. If IEM is present preoperatively, patients are contacted at least 1 year after surgery and will be informed about the study and asked to participate. In case of agreement, they are invited to the study site. They undergo high-resolution manometry 18-24 months postoperatively (study intervention).
