pH Impedance
& Manometry Study
pH Impedance & Manometry Study
pH Impedance & Manometry Study is an advanced diagnostic test used to evaluate problems related to swallowing, acid reflux, and esophageal motility. It helps in identifying how well the esophagus moves food toward the stomach and how much acid or non-acid reflux occurs.
This test is highly beneficial for patients with persistent heartburn, chest discomfort, regurgitation, or difficulty swallowing, especially when regular endoscopy or medication hasn’t provided clear results.
Under the expert care of Dr. Akshay Kulkarni, patients receive accurate diagnosis and personalized interpretation, helping determine the best course of treatment to relieve discomfort and improve digestive health.
When Should You Consider This Test?
Common signs and symptoms that may require pH Impedance & Manometry evaluation.
Chronic Heartburn
Frequent burning sensation in the chest even after taking medication.
Acid or Non-Acid Reflux
Reflux that continues despite medication, often with throat discomfort.
Swallowing Difficulties
Sensation of food getting stuck or pain while swallowing meals.
Treatment
The procedure involves passing a thin, flexible catheter through the nose into the esophagus. It records muscle activity, acid levels, and reflux episodes while the patient breathes normally. The test is simple, safe, and takes about 30–60 minutes.
- Performed under expert supervision
