RESUMEN

BACKGROUND & AIMS: In patients with clinically suspected rumination, esophageal impedance manometry differentiates episodes of rumination (involuntary straining with intragastric pressure increases) from aerophagia/supragastric belching. Treatment options are limited and focused on behavioral therapy. Baclofen, an agonist of the γ-aminobutyric acid B receptor, increases lower esophageal sphincter pressure and decreases swallowing rate. We investigated its effects in these patients. METHODS: High-resolution manometry-impedance recordings were taken from 12 patients (8 women; mean age, 45 years; range, 18-89 years) with clinically suspected rumination or supragastric belching before and during treatment with baclofen (10 mg, 3 times daily). After 30 minutes of recordings, patients received a 1000-kcal solid meal; recordings were then continued for 1 hour. Patients were asked to register symptoms with an event marker. The number of symptoms registered and number and type of flow events were compared before and during treatment. RESULTS: An average of 20 symptom markers (range, 14-34) were recorded at baseline (10 [range, 4-25] for belching and 9 [range, 0-11] for regurgitation). This was significantly reduced to 6 (range, 2-22) (3 [range, 1-15] for belching and 1 [range, 0-13] for regurgitation) during baclofen treatment (P = .01). The number of flow events (473 at baseline [42 reflux, 192 rumination, 188 supragastric belching, and 42 aerophagia]) was significantly reduced to 282 (32 reflux, 99 rumination, 123 supragastric belching, and 13 aerophagia) during baclofen therapy (P = .02). The reduction in flow events correlated with the increase in lower esophageal sphincter pressure (r = -0.62; P = .03) and reduction in swallowing frequency (r = 0.64; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS: Baclofen is an effective treatment for patients with rumination or supragastric belching/aerophagia.
