The current standard method for detection of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in infants and children is pH monitoring (pH probe). The addition of impedance probe measurements may or may not increase the ...

Approximately 50% of patients with GERD-like symptoms have no evidence of acid reflux on endoscopy and 24 h pH testing. New research shows that multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) pH testing ...

Classic techniques like videofluoroscopy, stationary manometry, and ambulatory 24 h pH-metry are routinely used in the clinic to study patients with dysphagia, chest pain and reflux-related symptoms.

The esophageal pH test is an outpatient procedure performed to measure the pH or amount of acid that flows into the esophagus from the stomach during a 24-hour period. The procedure is commonly used ...

For patients who suffer from persistent symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) despite therapy, the first step is symptom evaluation, said Kristle L. Lynch, MD, in a presentation at the ...

GERD is short for gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is a chronic disease where the contents of the stomach, particularly acid, reflux into the esophagus. The acid, through various mechanisms, ...
