Summary

This study looked at whether a newer, more detailed swallowing test (high resolution manometry) can better diagnose the cause of swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) in people whose standard endoscopy was normal. 247 adults with unexplained dysphagia took part. The goal was to see if the newer test finds more motility disorders and is more comfortable than the older test.
