In addition to impair LES relaxation and reduce distal latency of primary peristalsis, codeine impairs LES relaxation of secondary peristalsis and increases secondary peristaltic frequency. Our study supports the notion in human esophagus that the impact of opioids on peristaltic physiology appears to be present in both primary and secondary peristalsis.
