Our work identifies functional defects of oesophageal secondary peristalsis in patients with globus sensation and such defects are characterised with defective triggering of secondary peristalsis during rapid air distension. Whether current findings have therapeutic implication in the management of patients with globus sensation warrants further investigation.
