Esophageal Motility in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Evaluated by High Resolution Manometry - Effect on Esophageal Motility of Standard Therapy.
Esophageal Motility in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Evaluated by High Resolution Manometry - Effect on Esophageal Motility of Standard Therapy.
Esophageal Motility in eosinophilic esophagitis will be evaluated by High Resolution Manometry before and after medical treatment - motility is suspected to change/improve after therapy.
After identification of eosinophilic inflammation of the esophagus -> differentiation between GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis (via pH/MII-measurements or PPI-trial) -> High-resolution manometry (HRM) for evaluation of esophageal motility in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (exclusion of GERD-patients)-> initiation of budesonide-therapy -> after eight weeks of therapy reevaluation of esophageal motility by HRM
Inclusion Criteria:
• patients with eosinophilic inflammation of the esophagus
