Core Tip	This is the first comparative study concerning esophageal motility among functional and autoimmune disorders. Patients in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-group showed comparable dysphagia-scores as patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis. Nevertheless, different manometric patterns between the three examined groups were observed, which might allow differentiating esophageal symptoms based on IBS from other organic diseases.
