Core Tip
Core Tip: Esophageal manometry continues to evolve beyond conventional techniques, with high-resolution manometry, adjunctive tools such as functional luminal imaging probe, and emerging artificial intelligence (AI) applications, paving the way for more precise, automated, and clinically meaningful assessments. This review highlights how integrating advanced metrics, novel technologies, and AI may overcome current diagnostic limitations and contribute to a more personalized management of esophageal motility disorders.
