Are there any alternatives to oesophageal manometry and reflux monitoring?

A barium swallow can be used instead of oesophageal manometry, but this only offers a snapshot and does not provide the same information as manometry, which measures true eating and drinking. The main alternative for the pH-impedance study is a wireless pH study, which involves stitching a pH sensor into the bottom of the oesophagus during an endoscopy. Both procedures have their advantages and disadvantages, and our team will recommend which is most suitable for you.
