Role of PH Monitoring in Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Patients with Voice Disorders
Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is considered an important cause of voice disorder. We aimed to determine the frequency of LPR in patients with voice disorder and the association between Koufman Reflux Symptom Index (RSI), Reflux Finding Score (RFS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and proximal acid reflux in these patients. Materials and Methods: We performed a prospective...
متن کاملReflux Episode Reaching the Proximal Esophagus Are Associated with Chronic Cough
BACKGROUND/AIMS Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic cough. The aims of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of multichannel intraluminal impedance combined with pH monitoring (MII/pH monitoring) in patients with suspected symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and to assess the correlation between GER symptoms and reflux ...
متن کاملFrequency and site of gastroesophageal reflux in patients with chest symptoms. Studies using proximal and distal pH monitoring.
Prolonged ambulatory pH monitoring was performed on 89 patients with previous diagnosis of asthma (27 patients), chronic cough (28 patients), noncardiac chest pain (34 patients), and on 27 healthy control subjects. The extent of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) was determined using a catheter containing two antimony pH electrodes positioned 5 cm and 20 cm above the superior border of the manometri...
متن کاملRole of proximal gastric acid reflux in causation of respiratory symptoms in children with gastroesophageal reflux.
OBJECTIVES The association of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and respiratory disorders is well known but the mechanism is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the presence and severity of proximal gastric acid reflux in children having GER with or without respiratory symptoms. METHODS 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring with a dual pH probe placed in the proximal and distal esophagus was pe...
متن کاملLiquid-containing Refluxes and Acid Refluxes May Be Less Frequent in the Japanese Population Than in Other Populations: Normal Values of 24-hour Esophageal Impedance and pH Monitoring
Background/Aims Twenty-four-hour esophageal impedance and pH monitoring allows detection of all types of reflux episodes and is considered the best technique for identifying gastroesophageal refluxes. However, normative data for the Japanese population are lacking. This multicenter study aimed to establish the normal range of 24-hour esophageal impedance and pH data both in the distal and the p...
