Figure 1 Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) system and its location. The GES unit comprised a pair of leads secured in the muscularis propria along the greater curvature, 10 cm proximal to the pylorus, 1 cm apart, and connected to an implantable battery-powered neurostimulator positioned subcutaneously in the abdominal wall.

Figure 2 Weekly vomiting frequency (median and interquartile range). The bar graph illustrates the changes in weekly vomiting frequency as recorded in patient diaries at baseline, during the ON and OFF periods of the double-blind phase, and at 6 and 12 months during the open-label phase. Diabetic: baseline, n = 17; ON, n = 17; OFF, n = 17; 6 months, n = 13; 12 months, n = 11. Idiopathic: baseline, n = 16; ON, n = 16; OFF, n = 16; 6 months, n = 14; 12 months, n =13. (†P < 0.05, ON vs. OFF; ∗P < 0.05 vs. baseline; ∗∗P < 0.05 vs. OFF). Gastroenterology , DOI: ( /S (03) )
