Correlation of High Resolution Esophageal Manometry With Symptoms

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Achalasia, Dysphagia, GERD, Chest Pain, Post Fundoplication

In brief

High Resolution Manometry is a new technology that utilizes 36 solid state sensors on a thin catheter spaced at 1-cm intervals. One can more effectively measure the pressure of the esophagus. It includes a sophisticated software to display the pressures data as color topography plot using time, length of the esophagus and pressure within the entire esophagus. It is unclear if this technology improvement actually correlates with patient's symptoms.
