Secondary Peristaltic Parameters Between Menthol and the Placebo in Ineffective Esophageal Motility Patients
| Secondary peristalsis | Menthol | Placebo | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency (%) | 36.0 ± 6.1 | 50.0 ± 6.4 | 0.002 |
| DCI (mmHg∙s∙cm) | 273.5 ± 85.1 | 195.0 ± 37.1 | 0.262 |
| DL (sec) | 8.4 ± 0.9 | 8.0 ± 0.7 | 0.292 |
| IRP-4s (mmHg) | 9.8 ± 1.7 | 8.5 ± 1.0 | 0.271 |
DCI, distal contractile integral; DL, distal latency; IRP-4s, 4-second integrated relaxation pressure.
