Implication

Electroacupuncture may aid gastric motility in canines; leaves open translation to human gastroparesis pending clinical trials.

Structured PICO

Does electroacupuncture improve gastric emptying in a canine model?

Population

Dogs implanted with a duodenal cannula and serosal electrodes

Intervention

Electroacupuncture performed from 30 min before until 45 min after a meal (Ensure mixed with phenol red)

Outcome

Gastric emptyingsurrogate

Electroacupuncture accelerates gastric emptying of liquids in dogs, potentially mediated by increased vagal activity and improved gastric slow-wave rhythmicity.
