Assessment of Gastrointestinal Autonomic Dysfunction: Present and Future Perspectives

Abstract: The autonomic nervous system delicately regulates the function of several target organs, including the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, nerve lesions or other nerve pathologies may cause autonomic dysfunction (AD). Some of the most common causes of AD are diabetes mellitus and α-synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease. Widespread dysmotility throughout the gastrointestinal tract is a common finding in AD, but no commercially available method exists for direct verification of enteric dysfunction. Thus, asses… Show more

“…Patients with idiopathic autonomic neuropathy (AN) also frequently present with symptoms affecting multiple organ systems, ranging from sensory, orthostatic, urinary, secretory, and gastrointestinal (GI) (1,2,5), though the functional patterns of GI dysmotility are poorly understood. GI motility is primarily controlled by the three branches of the autonomic nervous system via shared modulation from the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems in addition to the intrinsic GI tract nervous system, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS) (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). While it is well established that ANS function plays an important role in GI motility and control of secretions (1)(2)(3)(6)(7)(8), there is marked diversity and complexity of symptoms among patients with autonomic disorders, often limiting the yield of conventional diagnostic clinical evaluations (5,7).…”

“…Gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility is a recognized symptom of peripheral neuropathies with autonomic involvement, including in diabetes, systemic autoimmune disease, and hereditary conditions ( 1 4 ). Patients with idiopathic autonomic neuropathy (AN) also frequently present with symptoms affecting multiple organ systems, ranging from sensory, orthostatic, urinary, secretory, and gastrointestinal (GI) ( 1 , 2 , 5 ), though the functional patterns of GI dysmotility are poorly understood. GI motility is primarily controlled by the three branches of the autonomic nervous system via shared modulation from the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems in addition to the intrinsic GI tract nervous system, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS) ( 2 6 ).…”
