Clinical Trial: Sling-Fiber Preservation POEM vs. Conventional POEM for Reducing Post-POEM GERD: A Randomized Control Trial

U.S., Sept. 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07178821) titled 'Sling-Fiber Preservation POEM vs. Conventional POEM for Reducing Post-POEM GERD: A Randomized Control Trial' on Sept. 10.

Brief Summary: Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for achalasia, offering excellent rates of symptom relief. However, a significant drawback is the high incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) following the procedure. One proposed technical modification, the selective preservation of the sling fibers during gastric myotomy (SFP-POEM), may reduce this risk without compromising efficacy as compared to a conventional POEM procedure, which includes myotomy of ...
