Esophageal manometry is also used to identify esophageal causes of noncardiac chest pain, and to assess esophageal motility in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, collagen-vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and neuromuscular disorders. Tensilon Provocative Testing is performed in conjunction with an esophageal manometry to identify patients with an esophageal cause of noncardiac chest pain. Anorectal Motility Testing allows the determination of anorectal sensorimotor dysfunction in patients complaining of constipation, fecal incontinence or abdominal pain. It also provides valuable information about the clinical outcome of surgical candidates who may be at risk of manifesting incontinence postsurgically. Specifically, biliary manometry is useful in making the diagnosis of biliary dyskinesia.
