High Resolution Manometry & 24 hr pH Manometry

High Resolution Manometry (HRM) is an advanced diagnostic test used to evaluate the function and coordination of the esophagus and its muscles. It provides detailed pressure mapping for accurate diagnosis of swallowing disorders.

24-hour pH Manometry is a specialized test that measures acid exposure in the esophagus over a full day, helping diagnose acid reflux (GERD) and related conditions.

When are These Tests Recommended?

These tests are advised in the following conditions:

Chronic acidity or heartburn
Difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia)
Suspected GERD (acid reflux disease)
Chest pain not related to heart disease
Pre-surgical evaluation for anti-reflux procedures
Assessment of esophageal motility disorders

Procedure Overview

The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and performed with precision:

A thin catheter is passed through the nose into the esophagus
Measures pressure and muscle coordination during swallowing
For pH study, a small probe records acid levels for 24 hours
Patients can continue normal daily activities during monitoring
No sedation required in most cases

Benefits of These Tests

Accurate diagnosis of GERD and motility disorders
Helps guide targeted treatment plans
Minimally invasive and safe
Provides detailed functional assessment
Reduces unnecessary treatments or surgeries
