Esophageal manometry is a technique used to detect abnormal sleep-related respiratory events. One method used to measure and score esophageal pressure during sleep is described. The contraindications for esophageal manometry, the methods for scoring esophageal pressure, the use of esophageal manometry as the "gold standard", and directions for future research are discussed.

Impact of diagnostic testing on outcomes of children with rumination syndrome.
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Objectives: Rumination syndrome (RS) is diagnosed based on clinical criteria with or without diagnostic testing showing characteristic findings on antroduodenal manometry (ADM), high-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM), and multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH testing (MII-pH). The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between diagnostic testing and clinical outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of children with RS evaluated at our institution.
Diagnostic approach to patients with suspected motility disorders: one size does not fit all.

Background: Dysphagia and retrosternal chest pain are considered typical manifestations of major esophageal motility disorders (mEMD). High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the gold standard for mEMD diagnosis, while endoscopy and barium swallow are ancillary tools. We aimed to investigate the frequency of mEMD among patients referred for HRM with typical compared to non-typical symptoms.

Effect of Anti-reflux Mucosal Ablation on Esophageal Motility in Patients With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: A Study Based on High-resolution Impedance Manometry.
J Neurogastroenterol Motil
January 2025
Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Background/aims: Anti-reflux mucosal ablation (ARMA) is a promising endoscopic intervention for proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-dependent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the effect of ARMA on esophageal motility remains unclear.
Methods: Twenty patients with PPI-dependent GERD receiving ARMA were prospectively enrolled.
Baseline Impedance via Manometry Predicts Pathological Mean Nocturnal Baseline Impedance in Isolated Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Symptoms.
J Neurogastroenterol Motil

Division of Gastroenterology, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan.
Background/aims: Distal mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) measuring via pH-impedance may be valuable in diagnosing patients with suspected laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). However, its wide adoption is hindered by cost and invasiveness. This study investigates whether baseline impedance measured during high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM-BI) can predict pathological MNBI.
