The goal of this study is to learn about the effects of sacral neuromodulation in pediatric patients with gastrointestinal motility disorders. By combining advanced neuroimaging, patient-specific biophysical modeling, electrophysiological characterization, and clinical translation, the SMART-GUT project establishes a comprehensive framework to systematically investigate neuromodulation in this pediatric population. This integrative approach enables a direct link between mechanism, targeting, and clinical outcome.
