solid-state manometry

Solid-state manometry is a diagnostic test that measures pressure within the esophagus, the tube that connects your throat to your stomach. It uses a small, flexible probe embedded with sensors to record the muscles' activity as you swallow. This helps doctors evaluate how well your esophagus moves and relaxes, which is useful for diagnosing swallowing disorders like achalasia or other motility problems. The test provides detailed pressure measurements in real-time, offering valuable insights into the functioning of your esophageal muscles with minimal discomfort and no need for fluid-filled catheters.
