Pathophysiology of esophageal motility disorders (EMD) in patients with diabetes mellitus is multifactorial. The aims of the present study were: (a) to evaluate the prevalence of EMD in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and (b) to determine the relationship between EMD and autonomic neuropathy as assessed by heart rate variability (HRV). All the patients completed a questionnaire about diabetes characteristics and gastrointestinal symptoms. Conventional esophageal manometry was performed in all patients. HRV was measured in three different situations (Lying Position 1, standing position, and Lying Position 2). The temporal and frequency domain parameters were considered for analysis. The prevalence of EMD in our patients was 60.5% ( n = 23). Low score physical activity was significantly more frequent in patients with EMD ( p = .03). There was an increase in sympathetic activity represented by the low frequency (LF) parameter ( p = .027) in the presence of EMD. Whereas parasympathetic modulation of heart rate represented by the high frequency (HF) parameter ( p = .027) was declined in patients with EMD compared to those without. The LF\/HF ratio was significantly higher ( p = .002) in patients with EMD. EMD were prevalent in diabetes mellitus and were associated to autonomic nervous system dysfunction predominantly at the parasympathetic component.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15579883221098588","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]],"date-time":"2022-05-18T20:59:48Z","timestamp":1652907588000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Relationship Between Esophageal Motility Disorders and Autonomic Nervous System in Diabetic Patients: Pilot North African Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Gallas","family":"Syrine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory, \u201cTechnologies et Imagerie M\u00e9dicale\u201d (LR12ES06), Faculty of Medicine of Monastir, University of Monastir, Monastir, Tunisia"},{"name":"Department of Nervous System Exploration, Sahloul Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maatallah Kanzali","family":"Mariem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine of Sousse, University of Sousse, Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Knaz","family":"Hend","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Laboratory, \u201cTechnologies et Imagerie M\u00e9dicale\u201d (LR12ES06), Faculty of Medicine of Monastir, University of Monastir, Monastir, Tunisia"},{"name":"Department of Nervous System Exploration, Sahloul Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6074-4736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Latiri","family":"Imed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine of Sousse, University of Sousse, Sousse, Tunisia"},{"name":"Research Laboratory, \u201cHeart Failure\u201d (LR12SP09), Farhat Hached University Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-199909000-00014"},{"key":"bibr2-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2982.2006.00799.x"},{"key":"bibr3-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinthera.2005.08.002"},{"key":"bibr4-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(92)90005-J"},{"key":"bibr5-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00125-015-3538-3"},{"key":"bibr6-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-5491.1985.tb00656.x"},{"key":"bibr7-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13098-015-0070-z"},{"key":"bibr8-15579883221098588","first-page":"561","volume-title":"Gastrointestinal and liver disease","author":"Clouse R.","year":"2002"},{"key":"bibr9-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc16-1728"},{"key":"bibr10-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00365529209096020"},{"key":"bibr11-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2007.04.009"},{"key":"bibr12-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1900\/RDS.2011.8.268"},{"key":"bibr13-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/dc07-0114"},{"key":"bibr14-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5085(19)31865-7"},{"key":"bibr15-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.1999.01508.x"},{"key":"bibr16-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.282.15.1433"},{"key":"bibr17-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00180740"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr18-15579883221098588","first-page":"193","volume":"16","author":"Jermendy G.","year":"1991","journal-title":"Diabetes Research (Edinburgh, Scotland)"},{"key":"bibr19-15579883221098588","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2012.01.036"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr20-15579883221098588","first-page":"245","volume":"21","author":"Kamath M.
