Intestinal electrical stimulation (IES) with long pulses has been reported to inhibit motility as well as accelerate transit of continuous infusion. However, it is unknown whether there is a correlation between the IES-induced alterations in motility and transit and whether there is a difference in transit during IES between continuous infusion and bolus infusion. ⋯ IES inhibits both intestinal bolus motility and transit. There is correlation between motility and transit during IES.
