In conclusion, the protective effect of esophageal secondary peristalsis and chemical clearance on esophageal mucosal integrity was demonstrated. Concerning acid sensitivity, longer lag time in patients with intact secondary peristalsis may be attributed to better esophageal mucosal integrity, while stronger intensity ratings may have a greater tendency to induce PSPW and protect esophageal mucosal integrity.
