Core Tip	A new oropharyngeal (OP) pH probe now available is more sensitive than traditional pH sensors for faithfully monitoring the pH of OP reflux, and the latest high-resolution esophageal manometry offers a major advance in defining esophageal motility abnormalities compared to conventional manometry. This study compares these two techniques, for the first time, and indicates that in patients with extra-esophageal syndromes pathological OP acid exposure is associated with weaker proximal esophageal motility.
