Abstract

This chapter encompasses general GI motility disorders which are common entities, and for which there are many possible etiologies. Many are considered to be functional. Because of the lack of knowledge relating to the underlying mechanisms, much of the treatment is directed towards symptomatic relief. This chapter will review pharmacological therapies recommended for their treatment, and assumes that specific treatable causes have been excluded.
