Key result
Multi-channel mapping techniques of the gastrointestinal tract demonstrate associations between slow-wave dysrhythmias, calcium transients, dysmotility, and loss of digestive functions.
This review summarizes recent advancements in multi-channel mapping techniques for assessing gastrointestinal motility and electrophysiology.
No immediate change to GI dysmotility management; leaves open causal mechanisms for prospective trials.
Motility of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is governed by a number of physiological mechanisms, including the bioelectrical slow‐wave generated by the interstitial cells of Cajal, and innervation provided by the enteric nerves. Multi‐channel mapping techniques involve the recording of both the temporal and spatial profiles of the physiological activities of the GI tract. The techniques have generated considerable evidence demonstrating the associations between slow‐wave dysrhythmias, calcium transients, dysmotility and loss of digestive functions. This review highlights notable recent developments in GI multi‐channel mapping techniques.

Du et al. (2020) conducted a review in Gastrointestinal dysmotility. Multi-channel mapping techniques was evaluated. Multi-channel mapping techniques of the gastrointestinal tract demonstrate associations between slow-wave dysrhythmias, calcium transients, dysmotility, and loss of digestive functions.
