摘要:
Non-invasive and/or natural orifice procedures, apparatus and methods for modulating the enteric nervous system using one or more energy modalities. A system may include a probe for insertion into a natural orifice (e.g., nasogastrically, orogastrically, nasojejunally) with or without a tube to therapeutically apply energy to modulate one or more portions of the enteric nervous system. The methods described herein may provide energy to stimulate the enteric nervous system to treat disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, depression, anxiety and/or to enhance gastric motility, intestinal motility or other neurological responses.
