Feasibility and tolerability of transnasal/per-oral placement of the wireless pH capsule vs. traditional 24-h oesophageal pH monitoring--a randomized trial.

摘要: Background : The wireless pH is a new technique to monitor oesophageal acid exposure. Aim : To compare the feasibility and tolerability of capsule vs. traditional probe. Methods : Consecutive patients referred for test were enrolled into study. Patients randomized probe, or capsule. recorded their activities, food consumption, symptoms, satisfaction with completed quality life questionnaire. Results : Of 50 recruited, 25 underwent placement had less nose pain, runny nose, throat discomfort headache as compared those probe (P = 0.047, P = 0.001, P = 0.032, P = 0.009, respectively). in group more chest during (P = 0.037). perceived interfering overall daily eating sleep (P =0.001, P = 0.003, P = 0.025, respectively), (P = 0.023). Conclusions : Transnasal/per-oral significantly better tolerated then probe.
