Based on the creation of a somato-autonomic reflex, the stimulation of sensory nerve terminals located in dermatome T6 may cause a reflex, whose efferent pathways end in vagal nerve branches stimulating the gastric wall, similarly to the gastric pacemaker.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of percutaneous electroneurostimulation (PENS) of T6 dermatome on appetite, weight loss and dietary compliance.

| Percutaneous electroneurostimulation of dermatome T6 | Procedure | The patients underwent a percutaneous electroneurostimulation of dermatome T6 during 30 minutes, every week during 12 weeks. This intervention was associated to a diet 1200 Kcal |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Appetite reduction | The appetite reduction will be measured asking the patient to quantify the appetite sensation according to a visula analogic scale, ranged from 0 (absence of appetite) to 10 (incontrolable appetite). Appetite will be measured before the beginning of the treatment and after finishing it (after 12 weeks of treatment). | 3 months |
