Impact of the feedback provided by a gastric electrical stimulation system on eating behavior and physical activity levels

Abstract

Significant improvement in eating and activity was seen in participants. It is hypothesized that feedback of the sensor-based data induced behavioral changes and contributed to weight loss in patients treated with CLGES.

A systematic review on neuromodulation therapies for reducing body weight in patients with obesity

“…One study was composed of a clinical series and an RCT 42,80 . In the pooled case series, the risk of bias was critical in seven, 37,39–41,44,46,87 , serious in nine, 42,45,48,78–80,82,86,88 moderate in four, 47,77,81,85 and low in one 38 . In these reports, the main detected biases involved confounding factors, the introduction of diets along with neuromodulation, not considering patients who discontinued the therapy, no clear data on patient selection or having other conditions as the primary outcome.…”

“…Twenty‐four studies on GES for the treatment of obesity were included in this review (Table 5). 36–42,44–48,77–88 Of those, 1 article reported on a single patient, 2 were RCTs, and 20 were case series. One article presented the results of a case series and a RCT.…”

“…Open label studies using this system showed 25-50% %EWL. 79,82,85 In a recent RCT, GES with the ability system was compared to gastric banding. 83 Despite a 12.5 kg weight loss at 1 year, patients treated with a gastric band lost significantly more weight (16 kg), with no differences in %EWL between groups.…”

Az elhízás kezelése és megelőzése: táplálkozás, testmozgás, orvosi lehetőségek

“…A gyomorba épített elektronikus szenzor jeleket ad, amelyeket az egészségügyi személyzet (orvos) elemez, nyomon követve az étkezések időpontját, snackeket az étkezésre megengedett és nem megengedett periódusokban. Ennek ingerlésével telítettségi érzést lehet kiváltani, csökkentve az étvágyat, az élelmiszer-bevitelt [56].…”

Influence of Cholecystokinin-8 on Compound Nerve Action Potentials from Ventral Gastric Vagus in Rats

“…11 In the context of weight loss, an implant with closed loop capabilities is Intrapace abiliti TM which initiates Gastric Electrical Stimulation (GES) in response to transit of food in the stomach, such as during meal intake. 12 Another implant, the Diamond TM (Metacure) system, stimulates the gastric antrum when food is ingested in the stomach. It has also shown greater weight loss capability than open loop implants.…”
