Table 2 Effects of Valsalva maneuver on esophageal pressure, expressed as mean (95%CI) in ineffective esophageal motility patients and controls

	Increase in LES pressure (mmHg)	Increase in distal pressure (mmHg)	Increase in mid pressure (mmHg)	Increase in proximal pressure (mmHg)
IEM patients (n = 12)	11.56 (0.57-22.54)	21.73 (15.46-27.99)	21.18 (12.28-30.08)^a	19.07 (11.41-26.74)^a
Control (n = 10)	7.81 (-0.86-16.48)	39.43 (15.37-63.49)	43.44 (22.85-64.03)	34.18 (23.41-44.95)

^aP < 0.05 vs control. IEM: Ineffective esophageal motility; LES: Lower esophageal sphincter.
