Disposable Endoscope Platform in Third Space Endoscopic Procedures

This study is looking at how well a disposable endoscope platform works during a procedure called Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM). POEM is a procedure used to treat conditions like achalasia (a swallowing disorder) or gastroparesis (when the stomach empties too slowly). You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, can give your consent, and are scheduled for an e-POEM (for achalasia) or g-POEM (for gastroparesis) procedure. The main goal is to see if the procedure is technically successful on the day it's performed. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 40 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study that will include 40 participants. It is a single-arm study, meaning everyone receives the same standard care, and is unblinded, so both you and the doctors will know about the study.
What's involved
You would be undergoing a standard Per-Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure for your condition. The study will observe the technical success of this procedure.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The main outcome is measured on Day 1, which is the day of the procedure.
