Devices and methods for treating patients suffering from an eating
disorder, such as obesity and/or pathologies resulting in obesity, by
regulating sensations affecting food consumption. The devices and methods
may facilitate appropriate caloric intake, thereby inducing weight loss,
by simulating, stimulating, amplifying, blocking and/or modulating
signals in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and/or nerves innervating the
GI tract, to manage sensations of hunger and satiety, such as controlling
hunger by signaling the gastrointestinal tract and/or gastrointestinal
nerves when different hunger sensations are detected.
