Definitions
- the present invention relates to an implantable gastric electrical stimulator system that can be used to decrease gastric motility and/ or
- the system employs an implantable electrical stimulator, one or a plurality of implantable stimulator leads (electrodes), and an external programmer, and an algorithm used to automatically control synchronized electrical stimulation frequency, interval, amplitude, or a combination of such parameters for
- Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States. It is associated with several comorbidities that affect almost every body system. Some of these comorbidities are: hypertension, diabetes, coronary disease, breathing disorders, arid musculos eletal problems. It is estimated that the costs associated with
- Existing therapies include diet, exercise, appetite suppressive drugs, metabolism enhancing drugs, surgical restriction of the gastric tract, and surgical modification of the gastric tract. Efficacy of these therapies range from little or no weight loss up to weight loss approaching 50 % of initial body weight.
- Gastroparesis is an adverse medical condition in which normal gastric function is impaired. Gastroparetic patients exhibit reduced gastric motility with accompanying symptoms of nausea and/ or vomiting and gastric discomfort. They may complain of bloating or a premature or extended feeling of fullness (satiety). Typically, the condition results in reduced food intake (in portion and/ or frequency) and subsequent weight loss.
- the condition may be associated with damage or neuropathy of the stomach enervation or damage or dystrophy of the stomach muscle with subsequent attenuated (in amplitude and/ or frequency) peristaltic activity of the stomach muscles.
- This disclosure sets forth a class of implantable electrical device(s) that can potentially effect a mild, reversible form of gastroparesis by inducing electrophysiological disorganization or disruption in the normal stomach motility.
- the stomach is a complex organ of the digestive tract (alimentary canal) with the primary functions of dissolution, reduction, and motility of ingested food. These typical functions are accomplished through secretion of biochemical reagents to promote dissolution; kinetic mixing movements to reduce the particle size and promote mixing; and kinetic propulsive movements to move the chyme (solution of small food particles and biochemical reagents) into the intestines.
- the kinetic movements of the stomach are accomplished by organized/ phased contractions of the stomach wall/ smooth muscle. Normal contractions of the stomach are the result of three control components: neural activity, chemical activity, and myogenic activity.
- the neural control component refers to the intrinsic and extrinsic nerves innervating the stomach.
- the intrinsic nerves release various neurotransmitters and peptides that control contractions and motility. Studies indicate that the extrinsic nerves may influence the contractions by the release of modulative substances.
- the chemical control component refers to the various substances (neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and peptides) released from the nerve endings or endocrine-paracrine cells and glands of the stomach. These biochemical substances may act directly on the smooth muscle cell or on the nerves to modulate or control the occurrence of contractions and motility.
- the myogenic control component refers to small electrical oscillations of the smooth muscle cells related to polarization and depolarization of the smooth muscle cells.
- the myogenic activity is referred to as electrical control activity or slow waves.
- the slow wave is the underlying clock for peristaltic activity.
- Slow waves are omnipresent and typically occur at frequencies of 2-4 cycles per minute. All slow waves are not linked to contractions, but a normal peristaltic contraction must occur in synchrony with a slow wave.
- the slow wave (resulting from the cell membrane potential depolarization) provides the basic timing/ interval and organization.
- the strength of the typical slow wave depolarization alone is not sufficient to exceed the excitation threshold required to initiate the smooth muscle contraction.
- a neural or chemical component must also be present to augment the myogenic activity. When a neural and/ or chemical component is present, the depolarization strength exceeds the excitation threshold and a contraction occurs. (The contraction results in additional electrical activity referred to as electrical response activity or action potentials.)
- the contraction involves the circular and longitudinal muscle layers of the stomach wall. Contraction of the circular smooth muscle layer decreases the lumen diameter. Contraction of the longitudinal muscle layer decreases the length of the stomach and may serve to assist in expansion of the lumen adjacent to the contracted circular muscle layer and to propagate the contraction to the neighboring uncontracted segment of the circular muscle. Coordinated contraction between both muscle layers is necessary for peristaltic propagation.
- the interference may be administered as any one or combination of the following:
