[Diagnosis of the irritable colon: manometric and myoelectric investigations (author's transl)].
Manometric investigations of patients with irritable colon show an undisturbed cyclic course of interdigestive motility studies of the rectosigmoid in patients with irritable colon show a spectrum of variable frequency of slow membrane potential changes with predominance of a frequency of 3/min. In addition, after a 1000 calorie test meal, patients with irritable colon showed a significantly prolonged increase of motility. As functional disturbances of irritable colon are mainly diagnosed by exclusion of organic changes, further development and rational use of colonic myoelectric methods promises future possibilities for objective diagnosis and control of treatment.
