==Overview==
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm overview|Overview]]==
'''Diffuse esophageal spasm''' is a condition in which uncoordinated contractions of the [[esophagus]] occur resulting in intense [[chest pain]] and pain with swallowing ([[dysphagia]]).


==Pathosphysiology==
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
Esophageal spasm is thought to result from [[motility]] disorders of the esophagus. These spasms do not propel food effectively to the stomach. It can cause [[dysphagia]], [[regurgitation]] and [[chest pain]].


==Risk Factors and Provoking Factors==
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm classification|Classification]]==
It's been reported that very cold or hot beverages can trigger an esophageal spasm. Of note, it has also been reported that rapid swallowing of a liquid often provides immediate relief.


==Diagnosis==
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
===Barium Swallow===
 
The condition is sometimes referred to as '''corkscrew esophagus''', due to a characteristic appearance of the esophagus as a corkscrew on [[barium swallow]] x-rays.

==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm differential diagnosis|Differentiating Diffuse esophageal spasm from other Diseases]]==
 
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm  epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
 
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


==Treatment==
==[[Diffuse esophageal spasm screening|Screening]]==
Several drugs, including [[nitroglycerin]] and [[calcium channel blocker]]s are used to treat this condition.
