Outcomes of Short-length vs Standard-length Myotomy Using Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for Achalasia: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

Northwestern University·interventional·Posted Mar 15, 2021·Updated Mar 15, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Short Myotomy and Standard Length Myotomy for Achalasia. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The objective of this randomized controlled trial (non-inferiority study) is to evaluate the outcomes of 4 cm short myotomy compared to the 8 cm standard length myotomy in Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for patients with achalasia. We hypothesize that a shorter myotomy with POEM will have the same clinical efficacy as standard length myotomy based on patient-reported Eckardt score with shorter procedure times and reduced complications.
