HRM and EPT provide for a detailed evaluation of esophageal motor function, facilitated by objective metrics applied for interpretation guided by a consensus‐generated classification scheme, the Chicago Classification. The standardized performance of HRM testing allows for reliable application of the Chicago Classification and generalization among clinical practices. Application of adjunct and provocative HRM maneuvers and potential incorporation of impedance with associated novel parameters may enhance future iterations of this scheme. However, such refinements of HRM/EPT analysis should be judged by their ability to detect specific clinical esophageal motility phenotypes directing specific clinical management strategies.
