IntroductionCurrently, there is no accurate noninvasive measurement system to diagnose gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders. Wireless skin patches have been introduced to provide an accurate noninvasive measurement of GI myoelectric activity which is essential for developing neuro-stimulation devices to treat GI motility disorders. The aim of this study is to compare the external and internal electrical signal measurements in ambulatory pigs.MethodsYucatan pigs underwent placement of internal electrodes on the stomach, small intestine, and colon. Wires were brought through the abdominal wall. Signals were collected by a wireless receptor. Four external patches were placed on the abdominal skin to record the signals simultaneously. Pigs were kept for 6 d while the sensors were continuously recording the data from both systems.ResultsInternal sensors detected rich signals from each organ. The stomach had a dominant frequency that ranged from 4 to 4.5 cpm, with occasional higher frequencies at 2, 3 and 4 times that. Small intestine signals had their primary energy in the 12-15 cpm range. Colon signals primarily displayed a dominant broad peak in the 4-6 cpm region. External skin patches detected a substantial fraction of the activities measured by the internal electrodes. A clear congruence in the frequency spectrum was observed between the internal and external readings.ConclusionsInternally measured myoelectrical signals confirmed different patterns of rhythmic activity of the stomach, small intestine, and colon. Skin patches provided GI myoelectric measurement with a range of frequencies that could be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of motility disorders.
