Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is involved in the development of esophageal motility disorders like Jackhammer esophagus (JE), a novel hypercontractile condition that was associated with progression to achalasia and limited outcomes following surgical anti-reflux therapy.
This trial was designed to assess the prevalence and characteristics of JE in patients with typical symptoms of GERD and responsiveness to PPI therapy.
Jackhammer esophagus is a novel hypercontractile esophageal disorder. The investigators assess the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with this disorder out of a collective of patients that are referred with symptoms of gastroesphageal reflux disease and respond to PPI. This is an observational trial.
37 studies on the registry are indexed under Esophageal Motility Disorders; 11 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 37 is below the median of 55 across 14 observational studies indexed under Esophageal Motility Disorders.

All patients that are referred to our center undergo esophageal high-resolution manometry and ambulatory pH monitoring for screening of gastroesophageal reflux disease and motility disorders. We assess the data that are prospectively obtained. Patients do not have to undergo any interventions.

Exclusion Criteria:
Prevalence of Jackhammer esophagus in patients referred with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease
All patients that are referred to our center with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease routinely undergo high-resolution manometry. We assess how many patients are diagnosed with Jackhammer esophagus
Time frame: January 2014- May 2017
Symptom perception
We assess which symptoms are perceived by the patients diagnosed with Jackhammer esophagus. All data are observed during an interview at the high-resolution manometry
Time frame: January 2014- May 2017
Prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with Jackhammer esophagus
All patients that are referred to our center are evaluated for gastroesophageal reflux disease. We assess the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with Jackhammer esophagus diagnosed by ambulatory pH monitoring.
Time frame: Januar 2014- May 2017
