Introduction: This review article develops the basic principles for the use and action mechanisms of neuromodulators applied in clinical practice and their role in treating different disorders of gutbrain interaction (DGBI), particularly, esophageal disorders in part I.
Materials and methods: The working group reviewed the most frequent pathologies and medications used according to the most recent literature and presented those with the best clinical evidence in each case.
Results: Due to the diversity of disorders, types of studies, and therapeutic options, we decided to present the evidence with the best results for each case. We determined the doses used, their results, and the side effects of each one.
Conclusions: The basic principles of the use and mechanisms of action of the main neuromodulators were reviewed, including their use in this section in the main esophageal gastrointestinal functional disorders. Given that the available evidence is not definitive, more controlled clinical trials are needed for each condition to confirm the effectiveness and safety of neuromodulators.
