Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders are very common. Even though these conditions do not directly affect the life expectancy of the individuals, they certainly impact the quality of life and have both direct and indirect health-care costs. For patients with persistent severe symptoms despite routine therapies, investigations of GI motility may be warranted to further optimize care.
