Micturition is associated with phase III of the interdigestive migrating motor complex in man.

Objectives: In previous manometric studies, we observed that micturition was associated with phase III of the migrating motor complex. The present study aimed to objectify this possible relationship and to examine whether modulation of micturition frequency influences migrating motor complex phase III incidence.

Methods: In a retrospective study, ambulatory antroduodenal manometry and micturition data of 27 subjects were analyzed.
