gastric electrical stimulation

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is a medical treatment that uses small electronic devices to send mild electrical signals to the stomach muscles. This helps regulate abnormal stomach activity, often to improve symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or poor stomach emptying. The device is usually implanted under the skin in the abdomen and connected to electrodes on the stomach. GES aims to restore better coordination of stomach contractions, enhancing digestion and patient comfort. It is often considered for people with gastroparesis or severe nausea unresponsive to medications.
