摘要:
An apparatus and a method for treating a weight disorder in a subject are provided. The apparatus comprising an implantable device such as an inflatable balloon and electrodes capable of sensing a physiological change associated with food ingestion or hunger and a mechanism adapted for directly stimulating a region such as the duodenum which is responsive to a gastrointestinal satiety agent, such a mechanism can be a drug reservoir containing a drug such as CCK or analogs thereof which is contained within an inflatable balloon being implantable in a stomach of the subject. The apparatus and method provided here combine synergistic approaches to limiting meal size, i.e., chemo and mechano receptor activation of vagal satiety stimuli, electric stimulation of specific vagal pathways and limitations of gastric space.
