Problems solved by technology

However, many patients continue to eat despite electrical stimulation
Likewise, the human body habituates to becoming desensitized to successive stimuli, thereby reducing stimulation potency over time

Embodiment Construction

[0050] In most cases, patients suffering from obesity have a reduced ability to self-manage their daily food intake. Patients often overeat, snack between meals and generally make poor food choices. Methods, systems and devices for using gastric stimulation to help manage food intake are provided. This assistance can eventually cause the patient to learn a way of behaving, leading to corrected self-management.

[0051] Patient management for obesity treatment can be established with the following goals and objectives:

[0052] Reduce the total amount of food consumed during meals

[0053] Reduce food intake between meals

[0054] · Reduce binge eating

[0055] · Reduce unhealthy food intake

[0056] · Eat less when you are not hungry

[0057] · Increased physical activity

[0058] Improved sleep patterns, such as duration and degree of rest (deep sleep)

[0059] Each of these aims and objectives can be achieved using the gastric stimulation of the present invention in ...

Abstract

Gastric stimulation systems and methods are provided for treating a patient, particularly by modifying behavior of the patient leading to excess weight loss. In some embodiments, such weight loss is achieved with a combination approach which includes two or more of the following: acute screening of the potential patients, gastric stimulation, induction of symptoms or specific behaviors and integration of patient management data into the treatment plan. Gastric stimulation is provided to portions of the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the stomach, with the use of at least one electrode. A variety of gastric stimulation systems may be used, including stimulators that are endoscopically placed, laparoscopically placed or placed by modified or combination methods.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 947,267, filed June 29, 2007, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference under 35 USC § 119(e). [0003] Statement Concerning Rights to Inventions Made Under Federally Sponsored Research and Development [0004] Not applicable. [0005] REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, TABLE OR COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING APPENDIX FILLED ON CD-ROM [0006] Not applicable. Background technique [0007] The prevalence of obesity in adults and children has increased dramatically since the mid-1970s. Data from two National Health And Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) showed an increase in the prevalence of obesity from 15.0% (in the 1976-1980 survey) among adults aged 20-74 to 32.9% (in the 2003-2004 survey). Both surveys also showed an increase in overweight among children and adolescents. For children aged 2-5 years, the prevalence of ove...
