| titleOfInvention | Method and system for treating irritable bowel syndrome |
| abstract | A method and system for treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome ('IBS') using biofeedback is disclosed. In one aspect the invention is a method comprising: inserting a probe (13) into a bowel (15) of a patient having IBS, the probe (13) being adapted to measure pressure at one more locations within the bowel (15) and obtain pressure data; transmitting the pressure data to a receiver (50) having a processor; processing the pressure data with the processor to determine an aggravated state; and signaling the aggravated state to the patient (100). The patient (100) can then be instructed to take measures to alleviate, reduce, or delay onset of the aggravated states such as performing relaxation exercises, resting, meditating, massaging the abdomen, or relating the aggravated state to ingestion of certain foods. The inventive method can use the determination of the aggravated state to send a regulation signal to a colon pace-setter positioned within the bowel (15) which will then regulate muscle contractions of the bowel (15). |
