What Does the Research Say! - Dr Neha Santucci","description":"In this episode, I\u2019m joined by Dr Neha Santucci, Director of the Disorders of Gut\u2013Brain Interaction Program at Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital and a leading physician-scientist specialising in paediatric gut\u2013brain disorders and neuromodulation. Dr Santucci shares her expertise in electroceuticals, exploring how electrical stimulation techniques can help manage gastrointestinal symptoms in children, particularly those living with disorders of gut\u2013brain interaction (DGBIs). We explore percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS), how it works, which children may benefit, and what the latest research tells us about its effects on abdominal pain, nausea, sleep, anxiety and quality of life. We also discuss how neuromodulation fits alongside psychological therapies and other treatments, as well as emerging approaches such as vagus nerve stimulation and gastric electrical stimulation. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, parent or someone interested in the future of gut health, this episode offers an insight into the evolving role of electrical stimulation in gastrointestinal care. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Neha Santucci.
