Gastric Electrical Stimulation for Gastroparesis
Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) for gastroparesis has been in use for more than a decade. Multiple publications, consisting almost entirely of open label single center studies, reported a beneficial effect on symptoms, quality of life and nutritional status. Some predictors of better response to GES have been lately identified, primarily diabetic etiology and nausea and vomiting as the pre...
متن کاملGastric electrical stimulation in intractable symptomatic gastroparesis.
BACKGROUND The treatment of gastroparesis remains unsatisfactory despite prokinetic and anti-emetic drugs. Gastric electrical stimulation has been proposed as a therapeutic option. We have assessed the effect of gastric electrical stimulation on symptoms, medical treatment, body weight and gastric emptying in patients with intractable symptomatic gastroparesis in a non-placebo-controlled study....
متن کاملGastric Electrical Stimulation: A Novel Treatment for Gastroparesis
Presented herein is a case report of a laparoscopic gastric electrical stimulator implantation for drug-refractory gastroparesis. Technical aspects of the procedure, as well as a review of the existing literature, are discussed. Gastric electrical stimulation offers a new alternative for the treatment of drug-refractory gastroparesis.
متن کاملGastric electrical stimulation in gastroparesis: where do we stand?
Gastroparesis is a chronic disabling condition of impaired gastric motility that results in decreased quality of life. Currently available medical therapy consists of prokinetic and/or antiemetic therapy, dietary modifications, and nutritional supplementation. For patients with medication-resistant gastroparesis a non-pharmacological therapy, gastric electric stimulation, has evolved over the l...
متن کاملTreatment of diabetic gastroparesis by high-frequency gastric electrical stimulation.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term efficacy of high-frequency gastric electrical stimulation (GES) for treating diabetic gastroparesis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of 48 adult diabetic patients with refractory gastroparesis who had a GES system implanted surgically and had follow-up evaluations at 6 and 12 months. The outcome measures were total symptom scor...
