Priorities for future research

Normative data in a broad spectrum of asymptomatic patients

Use of FLIP as a first-line diagnostic tool in patients with dysphagia during index endoscopy

Intraoperative assessment of EGJ (surgery and endoscopy)

Phenotyping patients with EoE

Adjunct to dilatation/use of FLIP based hydraulic balloon dilation

Use of FLIP in other sphincters: pylorus, anal sphincter, and upper esophageal sphincter

EGJ, esophagogastric junction; EoE, eosinophilic esophagitis; FLIP, functional lumen imaging probe.
