Stress may heighten peristaltic amplitude in healthy volunteers; leaves open relevance to symptomatic esophageal disorders.
Do psychological and environmental stressors increase the amplitude of peristaltic esophageal contractions in healthy volunteers?
Psychological and environmental stress primarily increases the amplitude of peristaltic esophageal contractions rather than eliciting abnormal tertiary contractions in healthy volunteers.
Young et al. (1987) studied Healthy. Psychological and environmental stressors vs. Preceding baseline periods was evaluated on Amplitudes of peristaltic esophageal contractions and levels of state anxiety. Psychological and environmental stressors significantly increased the amplitudes of peristaltic esophageal contractions and state anxiety levels compared to baseline periods in healthy volunteers.
