Antroduodenal Manometry

Antroduodenal manometry is a specialized diagnostic test that measures the muscle contractions in the stomach and upper small intestine (duodenum). By inserting a thin, flexible tube with sensors through the nose into these areas, doctors can record the pattern and strength of muscle movements. This helps identify malfunctioning motility, such as delayed emptying or abnormal contractions, which can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or bloating. The test provides valuable information about digestive muscle activity, aiding in diagnosis and guiding treatment for gastrointestinal motility disorders.
