Balloon Inflation Time for Esophageal Strictures (BITES): A Randomized Multi-Center Study
Esophageal atresia (EA) is one of the most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies that affects 1 in 2500 to 1 in 4000 live births. It is characterized by abnormal development of the esophagus, which requires surgical intervention to be compatible with life. Surgical repair of EA is associated with risk of …
Onabotulinum Toxin A (Botox) in the Treatment of Pharyngo-esophageal Dysphagia
Dysphagia in patients with stroke, multiple sclerosis, parkinsonism or dystonia can occur due to relative hypertonia of the cricopharyngeus muscle. In the resting state, muscle is contracted and relaxes only during deglutition. Treatment of dysphagia by injecting botulinum toxin in the cricopharyngeus was described by Schneider et al. in 1994. …
Investigation of a Free Water Protocol
Hypothesis: Use of a Free Water Protocol (FWP) will improve patient satisfaction scores (Dysphagia Handicap Index), will not increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia/pneumonitis, and will result in improved oral hygiene (as assessed by the Oral Assessment Guide). Aim: To demonstrate that improvement in patient satisfaction and quality of life …
Nursing Care Bundle on Oral Intake Among Critically Ill Children With Post-Extubation Dysphagia
the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Nursing care Bundle on Oral Intake among Critically Ill Children with Post-Extubation Dysphagia
PD-1 Inhibitor Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Plus Surgery for Locally Advanced ESCC (NEOCRTEC2101)
The primary objective is to compare PD-1 inhibitor combined with preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery versus neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery, in terms of the overall survival time (OS) in patients with Stage T1-4aN1-3M0 or T3-4aN0M0 squamous cell esophageal carcinoma.
PULSO Trial: Pulsed Low-Dose-Rate (PLDR) Radiation Chemoradiation (CRT) vs. Standard CRT for Esophageal Cancer
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, two-arm phase 2 trial that will evaluate whether the use of Pulsed Low-Dose-Rate radiation technique, as compared to standard radiation, is associated with reduced rates of clinically significant esophagitis during and following chemoradiation.
Nonendoscopic Screening for Barrett's Esophagus in Veterans Without Chronic Reflux
The veteran population is at increased risk for EAC and its precursor lesion, Barrett's esophagus (BE), due to increased prevalence of disease risk factors compared to the general population. BE is traditionally diagnosed only when patients undergo endoscopy with biopsies. However, due to the high cost of endoscopy and the …
Barrett's Esophagitis in Anorexia Nervosa Binge/Purge Subtype
To better define the presence of Barrett's esophagus (BE) via non-endoscopic testing in an eating disorder cohort with purging (vomiting/rumination) behaviors
Registry for Esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer
The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding standard treatments for esophageal and Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer/GEJ cancer. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about the effectiveness of different treatment options.
EMR Versus ESD for Barrett's Neoplasia
Rationale The optimal technique for removal of visible dysplastic lesions in Barrett's esophagus remains controversial. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is safe, effective, easy to apply, and has been the most widely used technique since 2008. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a more controlled dissection method with potential improved efficacy, but …
