About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Esophageal Achalasia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed of esophageal achalasia
  • Patients or legal surrogates willing and competent to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • postoperative or post-POEM
  • post-pneumatic dilation or post-stenting
  • fail to go through high frequency intraluminal ultrasound (HFIUS)
  • Patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥3

Sites / Locations

  • Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

POEM preserving longitudinal muscle

POEM involving longitudinal muscle

Arm Description

participants are operated POEM only involving circular muscle, leaving longitudinal muscle intact

participants are operated POEM involving the whole layer of muscle, both circular and longitudinal muscle

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

efficacy of POEM treatment
Eckardt score ≤3; Eckardt scale includes 4 items: dysphagia, weight loss, poststernal pain and esophageal reflux, each item ranging from 0-3. The higher the score reaches, the more severe the disease is. It is considered to be efficient if the Eckardt score is ≤3 after POEM.

Secondary Outcome Measures

complications(GERD) of POEM treatment
gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (GERD-Q) score≥2; GERD-Q scale includes 4 items: post-sternal pain, esophageal reflux, proton pump inhibitor applied, endoscopy identified, each item scoring 0 or 1. The higher the score reaches, the more likely the patient has GERD. It is considered to have a complication as GERD if the GERD-Q ≥2.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Achalasia is a disease characterized by lack of peristalsis and lower esophageal sphincter failing to relax. Longitudinal muscle, outer layer of esophageal smooth muscle, is recently found to be responsible for emptying of esophagus for achalasia patients, especially for those type Ⅱcases. Clinical observations also conclude that type Ⅱ achalasia which still preserve longitudinal muscle response best to treatment, among the 3 types. Thus, with high frequent intraluminal ultrasound, clinically applied as endoscopic ultrasound, to measure the function of longitudinal muscle in achalasia patients, the current research aims to explore the influence of longitudinal muscle on the prognosis of achalasia patients after peroral endoscopic myotomy, a routine treatment.
