Clinical Trial: Esophageal Motility in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Evaluated by High Resolution Manometry.
Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Esophageal Motility in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Evaluated by High Resolution Manometry - Effect on Esophageal Motility of Standard Therapy.
Brief Summary: Esophageal Motility in eosinophilic esophagitis will be evaluated by High Resolution Manometry before and after medical treatment - motility is suspected to change/improve after therapy.
Detailed Summary: After identification of eosinophilic inflammation of the esophagus -> differentiation between GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis (via pH/MII-measurements or PPI-trial) -> High-resolution manometry (HRM) for evaluation of esophageal motility in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (exclusion of GERD-patients)-> initiation of budesonide-therapy -> after eight weeks of therapy reevaluation of esophageal motility by HRM
Sponsor: Technische Universität München
Current Primary Outcome: Improvement of esophageal motility (IBP) measureable in high resolution manometry (HRM) [ Time Frame: Two months ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Improvement of esophageal motility (e.g. specified in the chicago classification) represented in high resolution manometry (HRM) [ Time Frame: Two months ]weak peristalsis with small/large breaks, frequently failes peristalsis, absent peristalsis, hypertensive peristalsis, rapid contractions with normal latency, functional EGJ-obstruction, panesophageal pressurizations, compartimentalized pressurizations;
- Endoscopic evaluation of inflammation before/after therapy [ Time Frame: Two months ]Endoscopic assessment of esophageal signs of eosinophilic esophagitis (white exsudates, furrows, edema, rings, crepe paper, stricture
- Symptoms before/after therapy [ Time Frame: Two months ]Evaluation of symptoms via questionnaire before/after therapy
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
