Abstract

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES), an accepted therapy for drug refractory gastroparesis, applies electrical stimulation to tissues to help control components of gastric electro-mechanical activity. Although novel endoscopic techniques have been developed for temporary stimulation requiring external wires, permanent GES requires surgical implantation of a large, battery-based neurostimulator device. We have developed two new miniature gastric stimulators, one with a wirelessly rechargeable battery and the other wirelessly-powered without a battery.
