Characterization of pharyngeal contractile integral using pharyngeal manometry in children

“…6 Furthermore, the pharyngeal manometry data in pediatrics is limited, with only two published articles in children, 7,8 and coincidentally both these articles are from the same group of authors as the current study. 1 While the previous published article by the same authors in 2021 7 focused mainly on evaluating the UES dynamics in a swallow, this current study by Damrongmanee et al 1 characterizes the pharyngeal manometry metrics thus complementing the existing data on swallowing dynamics in pediatricsthereby highlighting the importance of this publication.…”

“…This study conducted by Damrongmanee et al 1 not only highlights but also provides major contributions to the pediatric neurogastroenterology and motility literature.…”

“…The study by Damrongmanee et al 1 utilized highresolution pharyngeal and esophageal manometry (HRPM/HREM) to characterize and compare the pharyngeal contractile integral (PhCI) in children with normal and abnormal videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS). The authors hypothesized that children with abnormal VFSS had lower PhCI values compared to children with normal VFSS.…”
