Gastric motility abnormalities are common in disorders of gut-brain interaction and accurate assessment of the gastric motility can help understand the underlying pathophysiology and guide effective treatment. Various diagnostic methods have been developed to objectively evaluate the presence of gastric dysmotility, including tests of gastric accommodation, antroduodenal motility, gastric emptying, and gastric myoelectrical activity. This review summarizes the advances in clinically available diagnostic methods and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each test.
Gastric motility abnormalities are common in patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction, such as functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis. Accurate assessment of the gastric motility in these common disorders can help understand the underlying pathophysiology and guide effective treatment. A variety of clinically applicable diagnostic methods have been developed to objectively evaluate the presence of gastric dysmotility, including tests of gastric accommodation, antroduodenal motility, gastric emptying, and gastric myoelectrical activity. The aim of this mini review is to summarize the advances in clinically available diagnostic methods for evaluation of gastric motility and describe the advantages and disadvantages of each test.
