Abstract :
Motor function in the stomach is regulated by an intrinsic electrical activity. Therefore, external intervention with an electrical signal is a possible remedy for gastric motor dysfunction. This paper presents a canine model for the systematic investigation of electrical pacing of the stomach. The results confirm that pacing can improve gastric motility. Higher frequency pacing signals have more efficacy.
