Scoping review evaluates esophageal motility abnormalities in eosinophilic esophagitis, indicating the need for better diagnostic standards.

This review aims to assess the impact of eosinophilic esophagitis on esophageal motility and evaluate diagnostic tools.
Narrative review of existing literature on esophageal motility in eosinophilic esophagitis.
Focus on techniques including high-resolution manometry, functional lumen imaging probe, and impedance measurements.
Analysis of motility abnormalities and their correlation with symptoms and pathological findings.
Documented motility abnormalities include ineffective esophageal motility and fragmented peristalsis.
Reduced esophageal compliance and impaired bolus clearance correlate with symptom severity and food impaction risk.
Emphasized the importance of integrating motility assessment in managing eosinophilic esophagitis.
