This study is comparing a new procedure called POEM-F with the standard POEM (Per-oral endoscopic myotomy) procedure for people with achalasia. Achalasia is a condition where the esophagus (food pipe) has trouble moving food to the stomach. While POEM is effective, it can lead to acid reflux (GERD) in many patients. POEM-F is designed to reduce this reflux. Researchers want to see if POEM-F leads to less acid reflux one year after the procedure compared to conventional POEM. You may be able to join if you are an adult between 18 and 65 years old with symptomatic achalasia type I or II. The study aims to enroll 81 participants.
