Abstract:
1. A method of providing therapy to an intra-abdominal body organ of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: a) providing catheter structure including three electrodes and therapy delivery structure; wherein the therapy structure is separate from, different from, and not connected with the three electrodes, b) inserting the catheter structure into an internal cavity of the organ endoscopically, c) determining a baseline electroviscerogram (EVG) rhythm of the organ using the three electrodes, d) obtaining signals with the three electrodes that relate to myoelectrical activity of the organ to thereby locate targeted tissue that includes main pathways of electrical generation in the organ, e) providing therapy, with the therapy delivery structure, at the targeted tissue simultaneously as the three electrodes obtain the signals at the targeted tissue, f) evaluating the signals to determine the effectiveness of the therapy provided, and g) comparing results of the therapy provided to the baseline EVG rhythm.
