Abstract

Systems and methods for treating symptoms of an inflammatory gastrointestinal disease in a patient with transcutaneous stimulation of a peripheral nerve are disclosed. The method can include any number of positioning a first peripheral nerve effector on the patient's skin to stimulate the peripheral nerve of the patient, delivering a first electrical nerve stimulation signal transcutaneously to the peripheral nerve through the first peripheral nerve effector, and modifying at least one brain or spinal cord autonomic feedback loop relating to release of neurotransmitters from the autonomic nervous system that modulate synthesis of inflammatory biomarkers and reduce inflammation relating to the inflammatory gastrointestinal disease.
