Identify normal esophageal MII-pH parameter ranges in healthy volunteers [ Time Frame: Following 24-hr pH monitoring ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Our aim is to find the normal esophageal MII-pH parameter ranges in volunteers who never experienced reflux related symptoms and are in between the same ranges of age and BMI of our GERD patient population.

Assessing Normal Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII)-pH Parameters for Today's Population
Assessing Normal Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII)-pH Parameters for Today's Population

The normal values of a Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance (MII)-pH study can vary between ages, gender, race and different values of body mass index (BMI). This fact can cause new modifications in the normal values such as making new scales for different age groups or BMI groups.

Our aim is to find the normal esophageal MII-pH parameter ranges in volunteers who never experienced reflux related symptoms and are in between the same ranges of age and BMI of our gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patient population.

Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Identify Normal MII-pH Parameters
Procedure: 24-hr pH monitoring

Visit 1

The following will be done:

  • A medical history including review of your current drugs;
  • Collection of demographic information;
  • A manometry, before the 24-hour pH testing, to find the junction between the esophagus and stomach;
  • 24-hour pH testing will be done

Visit 2

You will return to the clinic 24 hours after the visit 1 and the following will occur:

  • The catheter will be removed from your nose; and
  • You will return the recording device
