Abstract

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) has proved to be an effective therapy for many patients with drug refractory gastroparesis. However, technological developments through which to determine optimal modes and sites of stimulus delivery, baseline assessments from which to tailor stimulation parameters, and less invasive tests that predict clinical outcome with GES are still awaited. This chapter explores what temporary and permanent GES can now achieve, as well as forthcoming developments in GES electrodes, devices, and anatomical mapping and placement.
