NCT06870630
\- Consecutive eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to esophagogastric complex only myotomy or standard myotomy groups. Randomization is done according to the computer-generated algorithm. A clinical research coordinator will prepare the sealed randomization envelops and will hand over to the operating endoscopists before the beginning of the procedure. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. In this study, the participants and the care-provider assessing the clinical response to the POEM procedure at 3months will be blinded to the allocation.
NCT06315179
This is a prospective observational study collecting long-term clinical data and samples for research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with gut inflammation and a control cohort of pediatric patients with disorders of the brain-gut interactions (DBGI) with no detectable gut inflammation.
NCT05182255
The aim of this post-market clinical follow-up study is to evaluate the continued safety and performance of the marketed Evolution® Esophageal Stent System (Partially- and Fully Covered).
NCT06514079
This clinical trial study included 21 children with refractory benign esophageal strictures. Upper GI endoscopy performed up to the area of stricture, esophageal dilatation done, endoscopy repeated, and steroid injected intralesional under direct endoscopic vision. The effect of the procedure was followed over a period of 12 months by evaluation of number of dilatation, maximum dilator size, periodic dilatation index (PDI) and dysphagia score.
NCT06243887
Detect impact of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on the outcomes of oesophageal surgery .
NCT05591053
ActivSight™ combines an innovative form factor and proprietary software to deliver precise, objective, real-time visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion intraoperatively for laparoscope-based surgery. A small adaptor that fits between any existing laparoscope and camera systems and a separate light source placed along any current commercial system will deliver objective real-time tissue perfusion and blood flow information intraoperatively. Primary Objective: To determine the feasibility of ActivSight™ in detecting and displaying tissue perfusion and blood flow in the conduit and foregut anastomoses in esophageal resection/reconstructive surgery. The investigators will compare the precision and accuracy among the naked eye inspection, ICG and LSCI in assessing the vascularity of the conduit.
NCT05624099
This is a prospective single-arm exploratory clinical study. The efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with chemoradiotherapy and camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy were evaluated in patients with advanced esophageal cancer who had not previously received any systemic antitumor therapy for esophageal cancer.
NCT05469152
The purpose of the study is to determine the accuracy of detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy(DS-MCE) as a follow-up method for patients with previous esophageal diseases.
NCT04090554
A Tanzanian pilot study to test the feasibility of using the Cytosponge™ device - a less-invasive endoscopy alternative - for research on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in African settings.
NCT03962179
Open, prospective, one-arm feasibility and efficacy study of a European conformity (CE) certified Combination product of two CE certified medical devices in the intended indication. Evaluation of the suitability of the medical device for sealing leaks in the gastrointestinal tract
NCT03819946
Catheter ablation is an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). For those with the more longstanding form of the condition and are graded as longstanding persistent AF, catheter ablation techniques often involve an extensive ablative protocol. This often includes application of ablation energy to the posterior left atrial wall. The left atrial (LA) wall is only on average 5 millimetres away from the esophageal wall. It has been shown that ablation to the posterior LA wall can cause thermal injury to the esophageal wall. Even those that require pulmonary vein isolation only can be at risk of esophageal injury. This injury can impact on patient symptoms as well as increase the risk of an atrio-esophageal fistula being formed. Esophageal protection methods during catheter ablation for AF in current practice is very limited and investigation towards improved approaches, in the form of a randomized clinical trial is required. The aim or purpose of this research project is to study the effect of esophageal cooling on the incidence of esophageal thermal injury (endoscopy-graded esophageal epithelial lesions and/or the presence of ablation-related gastroparesis with patient symptoms) compared to controls, after a catheter ablation procedure for the treatment of AF.
NCT02569073
In a recent study, Dronabinol was shown to reduce symptoms in patients with Functional Chest Pain (non-cardiac chest pain). Additionally, metabolic measures and patients' weights were not adversely affected by this regiment. In fact, some cholesterol measures trended in a favorable direction with Dronabinol. The study lasted 28 days and patients took Dronabinol twice daily. The goal of this current study focuses on reducing the dose of Dronabinol to see if the same goals can be achieved. More so, the study will be extended to 12 weeks to gain a more longitudinal picture of therapy with Dronabinol. It is hypothesized that reducing the dose and extending the duration will continue to show an improvement in symptoms as well as no adverse metabolic outcomes.
NCT03832959
Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation with electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins in the left atrium carries risk of esophagus thermal lesion. EnsoETM is a device . This study evaluates the benefit of using the EnsoETM, a device device for esophageal temperature adjustments, during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Half of participants will undergo esophageal temperature adjustment during pulmonary vein catheter ablation, while the other half will undergo catheter ablation with no esophageal temperature adjustment.
NCT03267355
The aim is to evaluate the initial experience for the indications and outcomes of EUS in Tanta university hospital.
NCT02620176
We are evaluating the role of transcutaneous electrical vagal nerve stimulation in the prevention of oesophageal pain hypersensitivity using a validated human model in healthy volunteers.
NCT02002078
Corrosive substance ingestion in childhood is a public health issue in developing countries and several management protocols were proposed to prevent esophageal strictures. The role of corticosteroids in preventing corrosive-induced strictures is controversial. The investigators' aim is to study the influence of high doses of corticosteroids to prevent esophageal strictures.
NCT00526331
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early identification and more precise intervention of operating room (OR) patient fluid administration optimization using arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO) yields comparable patient outcome as fluid administration optimization using a global standard care method.
NCT01019993
The investigators hypothesized that the application of volume-controlled HFPPV to the non-dependent lung during one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracotomy in patients with good pulmonary functions and mild-to-moderate pulmonary dysfunction may provide preservation of the right ventricular (RV) function, adequate oxygenation and optimum surgical conditions. The investigators evaluated the effects of IL-HFPPV on RV ejection fraction (REF), RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDVI), RV stroke work (RVSWI), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRI), and stroke volume (SVI) indices, oxygen delivery (DO2) and uptake (VO2), shunt fraction (Qs: Qt), and surgical field conditions during OLV for thoracotomy in patients with good and mild-to-moderate impaired pulmonary functions.
