GES, gastric electrical stimulation; DES, duodenal electrical stimulation; CES, colonic electrical stimulation; IES, ileal electrical stimulation; SES, sacral electrical stimulation; JES, jejunal electrical stimulation; EMG, electromyography.

Previously published studies with electrical stimulation (ES) of multiple segments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are provided and may be compared to our current study. To the best of our knowledge we present the first study with ES of 5 GI parts: stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon. Furthermore there is no previous study available with smooth muscle EMG of these 5 GI segments.
