Chicago Classification for esophageal motor disorders
| Achalasia | ||
| Type I | IRP>10 with absent esophageal peristalsis |
|
| Type II | IRP≥15 with panesophageal pressurization with ≥20% premature contractions, but no peristaltic propagation |
|
| Type III | IRP≥17 with ≥20% premature contractions, but no peristaltic propagation | |
| EGJOO | IRP≥15 with some instances of intact peristalsis or weak peristalsis with small breaks such that the criteria for achalasia are not met | |
| Jackhammer esophagus | Normal IRP with DCI >8000 | |
| EGJOO with Jackhammer | Elevated IRP with DCI>8000 | |
| Distal Esophageal Spasm | Normal IRP with ≥20% premature contractions | |
