Neurostim

At GI Care for Kids, we are always keeping up with the latest developments so we can offer our patients the most advanced care options. The neurostimulation device, known as IB Stim, is produced by Innovative Health Solutions. The IB Stim is an alternative to medications that can treat some types of chronic abdominal pain and is also sometimes used in patients with cyclical vomiting syndrome. The device is an external electrical stimulation device that delivers tiny electric stimulation to the skin around the ear. This device has been shown to reduce pain, headaches, nausea, and even episodes of vomiting. Many insurers consider it experimental but our doctors believe that it may have great potential for patients with certain conditions. For more information, please discuss this device with your medical team.
