==Symptoms to Differentiate Odynophagia From==
* [[Dysphagia]] is defined as difficulty in swallowing
 
== Diagnosis ==
 
=== History ===
A directed history should be performed to characterize the following:
* Onset
* Severity
* Duration
* Dysphagia with liquids versus solids
* Psychiatric history
* Prior episodes
* Substance exposure
* History of neck and head problems
 
=== Laboratory Findings ===
 
==== Electrolyte and Biomarker Studies ====
* Creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) can be used to rule out cardiac ischemia as a cause.
 
=== Electrocardiogram ===
Can be used to assess for [[left atrial enlargement]].
 
=== Chest X Ray ===
Can used to rule out [[lung cancer]] and other mass lesions as well as [[left atrial enlargement]].
 
=== MRI and CT ===
* MRI of brain can be used to exclude CVA and mass lesions of the head and neck.
 
=== Echocardiography or Ultrasound ===
Can be used to rule out an aneurysm or left atrial enlargement as a cause.
 
=== Other Diagnostic Studies ===
* [[Esophagogastroduodenoscopy]] (OGD)
* [[Biopsy]]
* [[Barium swallow]]
* [[Electromyogram]] ([[EMG]])
* Nerve conduction tests
* Esophageal manometry
 
== Treatment ==
* Endoscopy (acute and chronic mechanical obstructions)
* Speech therapy (ALS and stroke patients)
 
== Pharmacotherapy ==
* Proton pump inhibitors or promotility agents, weight loss, avoidance of offending foods (gastroesophageal reflux disease)
* Anticholinergics (ALS, stroke, lower esophageal spasms)
* Muscarinic agents (myasthenia gravis)
* Glucocorticoids (myasthenia gravis and polymyositis)
* Antispasmodics, botulinum toxin injection (lower esophageal spasm)
 
== Surgery and Device Based Therapy ==
* Thoracic surgery, possible balloon dilation (chronic mechanical obstruction)
