  • Title: The gastrointestinal motility laboratory.
    Author: Parkman HP, Orr WC.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin North Am; 2007 Sep; 36(3):515-29, vii-viii. PubMed ID: 17950436.
    Abstract:
    Abnormalities of gastrointestinal (GI) motor function contribute directly or indirectly to a number of common clinical problems and account for significant health care-related expenditure. Proper evaluation of patients who have suspected GI motility disorders is important to ensure a correct diagnosis and to embark on an appropriate plan of treatment. The GI motility laboratory serves as an important area for patient evaluation in gastroenterology and is an essential element in any comprehensive digestive disease program. This article addresses important concepts in setting up and running an efficient and practical GI motility laboratory.
