A Holistic Approach to EoE
This is the story of a young patient with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) named Joe and how the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED) has made a difference in his life. In the video, Joe and his mom, Emily, talk about the many benefits of collaborative care.
The CCED is the first of its kind in the United States. It provides help for children and adults from a team of international leaders in diagnosing, treating, and researching these rare disorders including EoE.
The center is not only the most comprehensive clinic for these disorders, but is also a dedicated research center. It is the synergy of our clinical and research expertise with family collaborations that allows us to continue to provide leading treatment strategies to change the outcome together.
Eosinophilic diseases are lifelong conditions. Symptoms do not always correlate with disease activity, making it important to regularly monitor disease activity. Endoscopies can help your child’s physician determine the activity of eosinophilic disease at a given time and how well a treatment works for your child.
The new technology of transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a means of doing an endoscopy quickly and efficiently in an office setting without requiring anesthesia. Cincinnati Children’s is now performing TNE for established patients.
