Abstract:
A non-invasive method and device for treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in a patient are disclosed. The method calls for positioning electrodes, and applying electrical symmetrical bursts. In particular, positioning step requires positioning a plurality of electrodes in electrical contact with the skin of a target region of the abdomen of the patient. The application step calls for applying a series of electrical symmetrical bursts to said electrodes. That application step generates contractions of abdominal muscles thereby generating movements of a digestive system of said patient wherein said movements are for causing the content of the esophagus to return to the stomach and to relieve GERD symptoms of said patient.

Claim (Index 4):
A non-invasive device for treating the digestive system symptoms of a patient, the device comprising:\n a plurality of electrodes in electrical contact with the skin of a target region of the abdomen of the patient; a pulse generator for providing symmetrical modulated bursts of pulses to said electrodes, wherein said modulated symmetrical burst of pulses are for stimulating the abdomen muscles and for moving the digestive system, wherein said moving being for treating a digestive symptom or a disease; a control unit for controlling said pulse generator, wherein a maximum voltage range of said pulses is +300V, a maximum current range is 150 mA, a pulse frequency range is 10 Hz-100 Hz, and a burst frequency range is 0.1-10 Hz; and a sensor connectable to said control unit, wherein said sensor is adapted for sensing one or more body signals of the patient wherein said one or more body signals are selected from a group consisting of: breathing, heart pulse, monotony movements and body position, wherein said control unit is further adapted for synchronizing said pulse generator in accordance with said one of more body signals to improve effectiveness of said electrical stimulation.
