high-resolution manometry

High-resolution manometry is a medical test that measures the pressure inside the esophagus, the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. It uses a tiny, flexible tube equipped with sensors to detect muscle contractions as you swallow. This helps doctors evaluate how well your esophagus is working, identify issues like impaired muscle movement or coordination, and diagnose conditions such as difficulty swallowing or reflux. The procedure provides detailed, real-time data to guide effective treatment and management of esophageal disorders.
