Great resource. For neuromodulators for all my #DGBI patients, I start low and go slow and tell them to be patient (up to 6-8 weeks to reach max therapeutic benefit on a therapeutic dosage).
Thanks @EsophagusDoc for the shout-out! Don't forget to download your free dosing pocket card on neuromodulators too from our website! https://t.co/ekNs2b1c2j

➡️No significant improvement in dysphagia symptoms and dysphagia score.
➡️Our meta-analysis does not support the use of empiric dilation.
