Example text

Esophageal hypersensitivity Visceral hypersensitivity is a phenomenon in which the conscious perception of a visceral stimulus is enhanced independent of the intensity of the stimulus [60,61]. Peripheral and central mechanisms have been proposed to be responsible for esophageal hypersensitivity in patients with NCCP. Peripheral sensitization of esophageal sensory afferents may lead to subsequently heightened responses to physiological or pathological stimuli of the esophageal mucosa. In addition, central sensitization at the level of the brain or dorsal horn of the spinal cord may modulate afferent neural function and thus enhance perception of intraluminal stimuli [62].

Muscle relaxants Studies that evaluated the value of nitrates (short and long acting) in NCCP are limited due to small numbers of patients, and are inconsistent with regard to drug efficacy [106–110]. However, side effects such as headache and hypotension limit their clinical use. It is also possible that patients may become refractory to therapy after long-term use. There have been no placebo-controlled trials of nitrate treatment for nonGERD-related NCCP. Calcium channel blocking agents (such as diltiazem, nifedipine, and verapamil) appear to be of limited value and their use might be complicated by side effects, such as hypotension, constipation, and pedal edema.
