Authors' objectives:
Gastric electrical stimulation therapy has been developed as a treatment for patients with chronic gastroparesis, a condition in which there is abnormal or delayed emptying of the stomach following the ingestion of food, and is associated with nausea, vomiting, and malnutrition. The implanted stimulator delivers electrical impulses to the gastric muscles with the objective of stimulating gastric myoelectric activity and thereby improving stomach emptying and reducing the frequency and severity of symptoms.
