TVNS and Upper GI Motility
Sponsor: Maastricht University Medical Center
Summary
To study the impact of tVNS on gut motor function, with regards to its potential to induce phase III contractions in the upper GI tract, in healthy subjects. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that tVNS will induce on average an excess of 1 additional phase III contraction of antral origin in the fasted period compared to sham stimulation.
Official title: The Effect of Non-invasive Transauricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation on Upper Gastrointestinal Motility in Healthy Individuals
