An intra-luminal device for gastrointestinal electrical stimulation is
self-powered and self-contained within a capsule-like housing, and is
capable of non-surgical implantation within the patient. The device
includes an implantable pulse generator and one or more electrodes
mounted within a common device housing. The device housing is capable of
endoscopic introduction to a desired location within the gastrointestinal
tract, such as the stomach, via the esophagus. The device may be
appropriate for short-term, mid-term or trial stimulation applications.
