Gastroparesis and Symptoms-Sketchy Relationships

Abstract

The relation between gastric emptying and symptoms is still unclear. The conception that improvement of gastric outflow or motoric function by Gastric Peroral Endoscopic Pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) or Gastric Electrical Stimulation (GES) would improve gastrointestinal symptoms simplifies the complexity of gastric dysfunction. It is still unclear why some patients with gastroparesis and dyspeptic symptoms benefit from GES. Besides placebo effects alteration of visceral perception has been suggested.
