Trial summary

Background: Abnormal esophageal peristalsis mostly occurs in adults, but some patients have onset in childhood. Most of the symptoms of esophageal motility disorders in children are not as clear as those described by adult patients, and they are only manifested in repeated vomiting. Read more about this study

About this study

Background: Abnormal esophageal peristalsis mostly occurs in adults, but some patients have onset in childhood. Most of the symptoms of esophageal motility disorders in children are not as clear as those described by adult patients, and they are only manifested in repeated vomiting. Esophageal peristalsis abnormalities in children took longer from symptoms to diagnosis than in adults. Common esophageal motility disorders in children include Achalasia, ineffective esophageal motility disorder (IEM), absent contractility, nutcracker esophagus, jackhammer esophagus, diffuse Esophageal spasm (diffuse esophageal spasm), lower esophageal sphincter hypertension (hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter), etc. Treatment for abnormal esophageal motility includes medication, endoscopic therapy, and surgery. This includes peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). The above treatment effects are rarely reported in children. This project uses the method of retrospective analysis of medical records to study the clinical manifestations and treatment prognosis of abnormal esophageal motility in children

Research purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate various clinical manifestations and treatment prognosis of abnormal esophageal motility in children, including analysis of diagnosis age, symptom time, related imaging examinations, endoscopy and high-resolution esophageal pressure examination, treatment methods, etc.

Research design: We plan to collect pediatric patients (0-20 years old) diagnosed with abnormal esophageal peristalsis at National Taiwan University Hospital during 2010/1/1-2022/12/31. Retrospective analysis of medical records and relevant laboratory data of patients in hospitals, including gender, height and weight, age of onset, symptoms, clinical manifestations, endoscopy, gastrointestinal photography, 24-hour multi-lumen esophageal impedance and acid-base examination, high-resolution esophageal pressure examination, ultrasound examination, pathological slide report, treatment response, etc.

Expected results: Analyze the clinical symptoms and different treatment methods of abnormal esophageal motility in children, and understand the development and prognosis of abnormal esophageal motility in children.

Key words: Esophageal motility disorders in children; High-resolution esophageal manometry; Esophageal achalasia

  3. Research background esophageal motility disorders occurs in adults, but there are still some patients with onset in childhood. Most of the symptoms of esophageal motility disorders in children are not as clear as those described by adult patients, and they are only manifested in repeated vomiting. Esophageal peristalsis abnormalities in children took longer from symptoms to diagnosis than in adults. Common esophageal motility disorders in children include Achalasia, ineffective esophageal motility disorder (IEM), absent contractility, nutcracker esophagus, jackhammer esophagus, diffuse Esophageal spasm (diffuse esophageal spasm), lower esophageal sphincter hypertension (hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter), etc. Treatment for abnormal esophageal motility includes medication, endoscopic therapy, and surgery.

  4. Participate in human research/clinical trials:
  5. Main inclusion criteria: Pediatric patients (0-20 years old) who have been clinically diagnosed with abnormal esophageal motility 2. Main exclusion criteria: Exclude the diagnosis of abnormal esophageal motility
  6. Research Design Pediatric patients (0-20 years old) who were diagnosed with esophageal motility disorders at National Taiwan University Hospital between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2022. The medical records and relevant laboratory data of the patients at National Taiwan University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including Gender, height and weight, age of onset, symptoms, clinical manifestations, endoscopic examination, gastrointestinal photography, 24-hour multi-lumen esophageal impedance and acid-base examination, high-resolution esophageal pressure examination, ultrasound examination, pathological slide report, treatment response wait. During the data collection process, relevant medical records are stored in the Gastroenterology Laboratory of the Pediatric Department of National Taiwan University Hospital, which is locked. The computers and servers that store the data are protected by passwords. The data will be stored and analyzed in the hospital. Personal information that can be identified will be protected by code or file encryption. The host personally confirms that all researchers (including the host) have completed the training on medical record privacy protection and information security, and signed the conclusion of the confidentiality statement. When all the data is collected and analyzed, the moderator will completely de-identify the data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Motility Disorders, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 8 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Treatment success rate of esophageal motility disorders (time frame: up to 10 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Oct 2024.
