About this trial
Evaluating swallowing food with surface electromyography (EMG) machine in patients with Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Controls
Normal video swallow or score of 0 for dysphagia on ESSAI questionnaire
absence of dysphagia
age >18 EoE participants
Disqualifiers
Abnormal baseline video swallow
lack of MSK coordination to eat test meal
underlying neuromuscular disorder.
Trial population
We will recruit patients with EoE seen in the esophageal clinic. Controls will be recruited by monitoring for patients that present for video swallow with speech language pathology and have a normal video swallow.
