➤ How do clinicians confirm esophagodynia or diagnose GERD flares?
Clinicians use a targeted history and exam, then trial acid suppression to assess response. Upper endoscopy checks for erosive esophagitis or complications. Ambulatory 24‑hour pH/impedance testing and esophageal manometry help when symptoms persist or before surgery. Biopsy can exclude eosinophilic or infectious esophagitis.
