Implication

Provides a feasible approach for esophageal electromyography; leaves open its diagnostic role in motility disorders pending prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Human subjects, including normal cases and patients with esophageal disease (e.g., idiopathic esophageal dilatation)
I
Intervention
Simultaneous electromyography of the upper, mid-, and lower esophagus using a new intraluminal lead method
O
Outcome
Electromyographic findings (action potentials and spike-bursts)surrogate

A novel intraluminal lead method enables simultaneous electromyographic recording of the esophagus, providing physiological insights into normal motility and esophageal diseases.
