Clinical efficacy and mechanism of transcutaneous neuromodulation on ineffective esophageal motility in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2022
Esophageal motility disorder is one of the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The clinical and functional relationship between the ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) and GERD have been found.

Esophageal Motility Disorders

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2008
Symptoms of chest pain and dysphagia are common in the adult population. Most patients initially undergo an evaluation to exclude anatomic causes (ie, esophagitis, stricture) and cardiovascular disease as the etiology of these symptoms. Patients with persistent symptoms may then be referred for specialized testing of the esophagus, including esophageal

Esophageal mucosal sensory nerves and potential mechanoreceptors in patients with ineffective esophageal motility

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2021
Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is the most common motility disorder. However, little is known about its pathophysiology. Vagal afferent nerves convey esophageal intraluminal bolus information to solitary nucleus, which is likely to be involved ...

Esophageal motility disorders

Disease-a-Month, 1988
Esophageal motility disorders consist of a complex array of disturbances in normal esophageal function associated with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux, and noncardiac chest pain. A thorough knowledge of normal esophageal anatomy and physiology is important to a full understanding of these motility derangements.

Upper Esophageal Motility Disorders

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1989
This article begins with a summary of the anatomy and physiology of the upper esophageal region. The appropriate diagnostic tools used in the evaluation of upper esophageal motility disorders are then detailed including cineradiography, manometry, and other modalities.

Esophageal motility disorders

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2018
Abstract Esophageal symptoms are most often related to gastroesophageal reflux disease and other mucosal or structural processes in the tubular esophagus. When these have been appropriately ruled out with careful endoscopy, or when motility disorders are suspected based on persistent symptoms or endoscopic findings, esophageal motility testing is ...

Contraction Reserve With Ineffective Esophageal Motility on Esophageal High-Resolution Manometry is Associated With Lower Acid Exposure Times Compared With Absent Contraction Reserve.

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
INTRODUCTION Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is a minor motor disorder with potential reflux implications. Contraction reserve, manifested as augmentation of esophageal body contraction after multiple rapid swallows (MRS), may affect esophageal ...

Peroral esophageal myotomy for esophageal motility disorders

Minerva Gastroenterology, 2023
The concept of third space endoscopy first described in 2007, was adapted and performed in humans in 2010 by Inoue et al. in a group of patients with esophageal achalasia (EA). Since then, esophageal endoscopic myotomy (E-POEM), has been performed in more than 10,000 patients worldwide up to now.

[Esophageal motility disorders].

Der Radiologe, 2007
For the better understanding of esophageal motility, the muscle texture and the distribution of skeletal and smooth muscle fibers in the esophagus are of crucial importance. Esophageal physiology will be shortly mentioned as far as necessary for a comprehensive understanding of peristaltic disturbances.

Oesophageal motility disorders

The Lancet, 1990
Oesophageal motility disorders comprise various abnormal manometric patterns which usually present with dysphagia or chest pain. Some, such as achalasia, are diseases with a well defined pathology, characteristic manometric features, and good response to treatments directed at the pathophysiological abnormalities.
