The inability to belch syndrome: A study using concurrent high‐resolution manometry and impedance monitoring

Although inability to belch has previously been linked to dysfunction of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), its underlying pathogenesis remains unclear. Our aim was to study mechanisms underlying inability to belch and the effect of UES botulinum toxin (botox) injections in these patients.We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with symptoms of inability to belch. Patients underwent stationary high-resolution impedance manometry (HRIM)...
