  2. Esophageal pH monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_pH_Monitoring

    In gastroenterology, esophageal pH monitoring is the current gold standard for diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It provides direct physiologic measurement of acid in the esophagus and is the most objective method to document reflux disease, assess the severity of the disease and monitor the response of the disease to medical or surgical treatment.

  3. Functional Lumen Imaging Probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Lumen_Imaging_Probe

    Functional Lumen Imaging Probe (FLIP) is a test used to evaluate the function of the esophagus, by measuring the dimensions of the esophageal lumen using impedance planimetry. Typically performed with sedation during upper endoscopy, FLIP is used to evaluate for esophageal motility disorders, such as achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, etc. [1]

  4. Impedance–pH monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance–pH_monitoring

    ImpedancepH monitoring is a technique used in the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), by monitoring both impedance and pH. [1] [2] Patients with ongoing symptoms while on proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are commonly diagnosed with impedancepH monitoring while continuing their medications. The impedancepH monitoring ...

  5. High-resolution manometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_manometry

    High-resolution manometry (HRM) is a gastrointestinal motility diagnostic system that measures intraluminal pressure activity in the gastrointestinal tract using a series of closely spaced pressure sensors.

  6. Acid perfusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_perfusion_test

    Acid perfusion test, also called the Bernstein test, is a test done to reproduce the pain when the lower esophagus is irrigated with an acid solution in people with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). [1] There will be a negative result in normal people, but a false positive reading may be seen in up to 15% of people. [2]

  7. Esophageal motility study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_motility_study

    An esophageal motility study (EMS) or esophageal manometry is a test to assess motor function of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), esophageal body and lower esophageal sphincter (LES). [ 1 ] Indications

  8. Esophageal dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophageal_dilation

    Esophageal dilation or oesophageal dilatation (British English) is a therapeutic endoscopic procedure that enlarges the lumen of the esophagus. [1] Indications.

  9. Esophagogastric dissociation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophagogastric_dissociation

    Esophagogastric dissociation is a surgical procedure that is sometimes used to treat gastroesophageal reflux, mainly in neurologically impaired children. [1] It has been suggested as an alternative to Nissen fundoplication for these cases.
