About Esophageal Manometry Test

An Esophageal Manometry Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed by a gastroenterologist to assess the function and coordination of the muscles in your esophagus (food pipe). During the test, a thin, flexible tube (catheter) with pressure sensors is gently passed through your nose and down into your esophagus and stomach. As you swallow small sips of water, the sensors record the strength and pattern of muscle contractions, as well as the pressure and relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). This test is crucial for diagnosing motility disorders like achalasia, ineffective esophageal motility, or esophageal spasms, which can cause symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or severe heartburn. It is generally well-tolerated and provides essential data to guide effective treatment plans.

Key Highlights

Gold standard for diagnosing esophageal motility disorders.Minimally invasive, no sedation typically required.Provides precise, real-time measurements of esophageal muscle function.Helps differentiate between different causes of swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).liEssential for planning treatments like surgery for achalasia or adjusting medications.Outpatient procedure with a relatively short duration (30-60 minutes).

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) for solids or liquids.
Unexplained non-cardiac chest pain.
Severe or treatment-resistant heartburn (GERD) to assess sphincter function.
Pre-operative evaluation before anti-reflux surgery (fundoplication).
Suspected esophageal motility disorders like achalasia, diffuse esophageal spasm, or scleroderma.
Evaluation of regurgitation or the feeling of food getting stuck.

How to prepare

Fast for 6-8 hours before the test (no food or drinks).
Inform your doctor about all medications, especially blood thinners or muscle relaxants, as you may need to adjust them.
Avoid smoking or chewing gum on the day of the procedure.
You will be asked about any nasal obstructions or recent nasal surgeries.
Plan for someone to drive you home, though it's often not mandatory as sedation is rare.

Risks & possible complications

Mild discomfort, gagging, or a sensation of the tube in the throat during insertion.
Minor nosebleed (epistaxis) from the nasal passage.
Temporary sore throat or hoarseness after the procedure.
Very rare risk of accidental entry into the airway (aspiration) or esophageal perforation (extremely uncommon).
Vasovagal reaction (lightheadedness or fainting) in sensitive individuals.
