Gastric dysrhythmia and delayed gastric emptying has been observed in many gastric motility disorders. Treatment options for these disorders are very limited in the US, such as medical therapy, surgical therapy and nutritional support. The results of a new study show that two-channel gastric electrical stimulation with trains of pulses accelerates gastric emptying in healthy dogs and may have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of gastric motility disorders.
