| Sommario/riassunto: | This book provides in-depth coverage of all aspects of esophageal pain. Chapters cover the scope of the problem; basic science with regards to the nature of neural pathways, receptors involved in sensing pain and the role of central nervous system in sensing the pain; different stimuli responsible for the genesis of esophageal pain, including the role of acid, muscle spasm and reflux; hypersensitivity of pain receptors, spinal nerves and central nervous system; and the state of the art in diagnosis and treatment strategies. |
