ORAL AND PHARYNGEAL TRANSIT IN FUNCTIONAL HEARTBURN [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease is associated with slower transit of the bolus through the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter. Functional heartburn has similar symptoms to gastroesophageal reflux disease, however, the symptoms are not ...

Recent insights on functional heartburn and reflux hypersensitivity. [PDF]
Purpose of review Rome IV experts have proposed that gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should be diagnosed only in patients with abnormal esophageal acid exposure, and that reflux hypersensitivity (RH) and functional heartburn (FH) both should be considered functional conditions separate from GERD. Although past and recent

Behavioral Therapy for Functional Heartburn: Recommendation Statements. [PDF]
Brain-gut behavior therapies (BGBT) are increasingly recognized as effective therapeutic interventions for functional heartburn. However, recommendations regarding candidacy for treatment, initial treatment selection, and navigating treatment non-response have not been established for functional heartburn specifically.

Mid-esophageal mucosal impedance reflects mucosal integrity and phenotypes refractory reflux-like symptoms [PDF]
Background Refractory reflux-like symptoms (rRLS) are frequently encountered in clinical practice and often reflect heterogeneous underlying mechanisms beyond acid exposure alone. Esophageal mucosal impedance has emerged as a marker of mucosal integrity,
