Esophageal manometry

Esophageal manometry is a diagnostic test that measures the strength and coordination of the muscles in the esophagus, the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. During the test, a thin flexible tube with sensors is inserted through your nose into your esophagus. As you swallow, the sensors record muscle contractions, helping doctors assess issues like swallowing difficulties or acid reflux. This information aids in diagnosing conditions affecting esophageal function, guiding appropriate treatment options.
