Gastric electrical stimulation for gastroparesis
Record ID 32014000362
English
Authors' recommendations:
Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) therapy is a treatment for patients with chronic gastroparesis, a
gastrointestinal motility disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying without evidence of physical obstruction. The main symptoms include nausea, vomiting, early satiety, distension/bloating, and epigastric pain. The implanted stimulator delivers electrical impulses to the gastric muscles to stimulate gastric myoelectric activity, which improves stomach emptying and reduces the frequency and severity of symptoms.
