Abstract
AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effect of esomeprazole and mosapride on aged hypotensive type LES esophageal motility dysfunction.
METHODS: A total of 57 aged hypotensive type LES esophageal motility dysfunction patients were divided into treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 28). Patients in treatment group were given esomeprazole 20 mg per day and mosapride 5 mg three times daily for 1 mo while patients in control group were given mosapride 5 mg three times daily for 1 mo. After medication treatment, the clinical symptoms, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure and esophageal motility were observed.
RESULTS: Fifty seven cases of patients completed the study. The total effective rate of treatment group was 86.2%, which was significantly higher than that of control group (60.7%). LES pressure was improved significantly in both groups (1.82 ± 0.36 vs 1.09 ± 0.18, P < 0.001; 1.91 ± 0.45 vs 1.06 ± 0.17, P < 0.001, respectively). Esophageal motility became better in both groups, but no statistical difference was observed between them after treatment(48.3% vs 53.6%, P = 0.193).
CONCLUSION: Esomeprazole and mosapride are effective for aged hypotensive type LES esophageal motility dysfunction.
