Clinical and pH study characteristics in reflux patients with and without ineffective oesophageal motility (IEM)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Symptomatic patients with IEM exhibit significant impairment of oesophageal clearance but are otherwise clinically indistinguishable from those with normal oesophageal motility and have a similar prevalence of erosive disease and pathological acid exposure.
