Abstract
Despite progress in recent years, a definitive diagnosis of PPI is not yet possible. Due to new diagnostic possibilities and the further development of already existing diagnostic tools, a more accurate diagnostic clarification of uncertain cases should be possible. The following article includes an overview of common existing diagnostic tools and instruments, which will likely gain importance in the future.
