A system and method for treating gastrointestinal and other disorders via electrical stimulation of plural portions of a patient's gastrointestinal tract uses an implantable control module (20), sensors attached to various structures of the gastrointestinal tract, and electrodes (15) also attached to various structures of the gastrointestinal tract. Signals received from the sensors are analyzed to identify events in the gastrointestinal system, and electrical stimulation is applied to structures of the gastrointestinal tract, in sequence, to restore normal function or achieve other clinically desirable results.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour le traitement de troubles gastrointestinaux ou autres, par la stimulation électrique de plusieurs parties du tractus gastro-intestinal. Pour ce faire, on utilise un module de commande implantable (20), des capteurs fixés à diverses structures du tractus gastro-intestinal et des électrodes (15) également fixées aux diverses structures du tractus gastro-intestinal. Les signaux reçus des capteurs sont analysés, de manière que les événements dans le système gastro-intestinal soient identifiés et une stimulation électrique est appliquée aux structures dudit tractus, en séquence, de sorte que la fonction normale soit rétablie ou que d'autres résultats recherchés cliniquement soient atteints.
