The Role Of Empiric Dilation In Patients With Dysphagia With Normal Endoscopy

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2011
The goal of our study is to determine if stretching the esophagus with a rubber dilator helps patients with swallowing difficulties who have a normal appearing esophagus on upper endoscopy. In order to do this we will perform a randomized controlled study, where patients will undergo esophageal dilation (stretching) with different diameter dilators. We will measure change in symptom severity between baseline (prior to dilation) and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the procedure
