Ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring, radiologic examination, endoscopy, and manometry were undertaken in 142 patients with globus. The results demonstrate that abnormal gastroesophageal reflux occurred in 23% of patients, implying that, while reflux may be responsible for globus in some patients, it is not the cause of globus sensation in the majority of individuals with this symptom. Comparing patients with globus and control subjects, there were no differences in lower esophageal sphincter pressures, esophageal body motility, or tonic upper esophageal sphincter pressures, but patients with globus exhibited higher pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter after-contraction pressures during deglutition. The physiological significance of this pharyngeal and upper esophageal dysmotility is not clear and it may be no more than a secondary phenomenon. Alternatively, it may contribute to the generation of globus, perhaps in combination with other physical and psychological triggers.
