Trial Outcomes & Findings for Topical Bethanechol for Improvement of Esophageal Dysmotility (NCT NCT01031043)

NCT ID: NCT01031043

Last Updated: 2015-01-29

Results Overview

The index of contractile strength of the esophageal smooth muscle. The range of the index being 0 mmHg \*s\*cm to \>10,000 mmHg \*s\*cm where 0 represents no contractile strength. The index reflects the magnitude of distal esophageal contraction, taking into consideration the length, strength, and duration of the contraction.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Topical Bethanechol
patients will be given either 5 mg (first phase) or 10 mg (second phase) of bethanechol in 1 ml of solution containing an absorption enhancer. Administration will be performed by throat spray device Bethanechol: Taking part in this research study is voluntary. Patient may choose not to take part in this research study or may withdraw consent at any time. Their choice will not at any time affect the commitment of the health care providers to administer care. If the patient decides not to participate or withdraw from the study there will be no penalty or loss of benefits to which they are otherwise entitled.
