Lei WY, et al. – In this current study, the physicians intended to figure out whether patients with globus sensation had altered physiological characteristics of secondary peristalsis. They observed functional defects of oesophageal secondary peristalsis in patients with globus sensation. During rapid air distension, these defects were characterized with the defective triggering of secondary peristalsis. Further research work was required to determine the usefulness of this data in the management of patients with globus sensation.
