Trial summary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is involved in the development of esophageal motility disorders like Jackhammer esophagus (JE), a novel hypercontractile condition that was associated with progression to achalasia and limited outcomes following surgical anti-reflux therapy.

  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients that are referred to our center undergo esophageal high-resolution manometry and ambulatory pH monitoring for screening of gastroesophageal reflux disease and motility disorders. We assess the data that are prospectively obtained. Patients do not have to undergo any interventions.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease and diagnosis of Jackhammer esophagus

Who cannot join

  • patients not willing to participate data or undergo screening for gastroesophageal reflux disease

About this study

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is involved in the development of esophageal motility disorders like Jackhammer esophagus (JE), a novel hypercontractile condition that was associated with progression to achalasia and limited outcomes following surgical anti-reflux therapy.

This trial was designed to assess the prevalence and characteristics of JE in patients with typical symptoms of GERD and responsiveness to PPI therapy.

Read the detailed description

Jackhammer esophagus is a novel hypercontractile esophageal disorder. The investigators assess the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with this disorder out of a collective of patients that are referred with symptoms of gastroesphageal reflux disease and respond to PPI. This is an observational trial.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of Jackhammer esophagus in patients referred with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease

    All patients that are referred to our center with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease routinely undergo high-resolution manometry. We assess how many patients are diagnosed with Jackhammer esophagus

    Measured: January 2014- May 2017

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Symptom perception

    We assess which symptoms are perceived by the patients diagnosed with Jackhammer esophagus. All data are observed during an interview at the high-resolution manometry

    Measured: January 2014- May 2017

  2. Prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with Jackhammer esophagus

    All patients that are referred to our center are evaluated for gastroesophageal reflux disease. We assess the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with Jackhammer esophagus diagnosed by ambulatory pH monitoring.

    Measured: Januar 2014- May 2017

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Motility Disorders, run by Medical University of Vienna.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of Jackhammer esophagus in patients referred with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (time frame: January 2014- May 2017). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03347903, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2017.
