Electrogastrography

Find a Specialist Near You

The gastrointestinal (GI) specialists at Houston Methodist Lynda K. and David M. Underwood Center for Digestive Health use noninvasive electrogastrography to investigate low-motility-induced bowel discomfort. Our refined techniques produce quick results that help diagnose and treat digestive dysfunction.

 

An electrogastrography is a noninvasive digestive disorder diagnostic technique performed alongside an electrogastrogram (EGG). Together, these evaluate the gastric (stomach) muscles for proper function. Food and drink move through the stomach when electrical activity prompts the muscles to squeeze and release (peristalsis). Electrogastrography is the procedure that captures the electrical activity that the electrogastrogram records.

 

An electrogastrography can determine if abnormal gastric electrical activity is causing nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain symptoms. Our team of doctors at the Underwood Center has access to the latest equipment and up-to-date research on electrogastrography and EGGs.
