Medical Conditions - Gastric Electrical Stimulation

Gastric electrical stimulation, also called implantable gastric stimulation, involves using a minor, battery-operated gastric neurotransmitter implanted beneath the skin in the lower abdominal region and delivers mild electrical impulses. This therapy reduces the chronic drug-resistant symptoms associated with gastroparesis and brings about weight loss in obese patients.
