The Role of Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (FLIP) in Addition to High‐Resolution Manometry and Timed Barium Esophagram in Treated Achalasia Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Symptoms

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.
Functional lumen imaging probe did not offer additional yield over high‐resolution manometry and timed barium esophagram in identifying which treated achalasia patients with persistent or recurrent symptoms were likely to benefit from further treatment.

Comparison of Achalasia Classification Schemes to Predict Treatment Outcomes

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.
Achalasia classification methods can be beneficial to help prognosticate treatment outcomes. High‐resolution manometry subtypes (Chicago Classification) predicted symptomatic outcome, whereas esophagram‐based classifications (Japanese Esophageal Society (JES), Italian, Brazilian) more strongly predicted objective emptying. This highlights the potential
