2023 American Neurogastro­enterology and Motility Society (ANMS) Annual Meeting

2023 American Neurogastro­enterology and Motility Society (ANMS) Annual Meeting organized by American Neurogastro­enterology and Motility Society (ANMS) will be held from Aug 11 - 13, 2023 at Fairmont Austin, Austin, Texas, United States of America

Course Overview: 
This course is intended to increase participants’ knowledge of how to provide excellent clinical care and apply innovative approaches in the clinical management of motility and neurogastroenterology disorders. This meeting will provide attendees with an enhanced competency of the underlying mechanisms that govern common gastrointestinal motility disorders and disorders of gut-brain interaction and will provide a framework for developing a multidisciplinary plan for optimal diagnosis and treatment.  Discussions will encompass the relevant pathophysiology of these disorders as well as new findings from cutting-edge research in order to clarify matters of ongoing debate in the motility community and to improve knowledge of how application of emergent clinical innovations may influence patient outcomes. Through case-based presentations as well as a review of consensus opinions and available national/ANMS practice guidelines, attendees will gain greater confidence in areas including GERD, globus, gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome, dietary therapies, behavioral health, and innovative diagnostics and therapeutics.

Scientific Program Overview:
The scientific meeting will address many cutting-edge research areas which range from basic aspects of neurogastroenterology, to translational and clinical aspects of gastrointestinal motility and brain-gut disorders. Topics will include the mechanisms of visceral pain, genetic and epigenetic approaches, role of the gut microbiota, food sensitivities and intolerances, patient reported outcomes, and biomedical informatics. Disease areas that will be discussed include including esophageal disorders, functional dyspepsia, gastroparesis, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, and fecal incontinence.  In addition, participants will learn more about current and novel therapeutic approaches for these conditions.

Scientific Meeting Goals:
This meeting provides a forum for research scientists and clinicians to meet in a multi-disciplinary, interactive, and supportive collaborative manner so as to generate new ideas and research applications to move the field of Neurogastroenterology & Motility forward. Invited speakers will present state-of-the-art research that focuses on disease mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric and adult disorders involving abnormalities in gastrointestinal function, sensation, psychosocial aspects, and brain-gut interactions
The conference is designed to provide a forum for the presentation, discussion, and debate of translational and clinical research in the area of Neurogastroenterology & Motility, and brain-gut disorders so that physicians and health care professionals diagnosing and managing patients will be able to apply the latest evidence-based approaches to optimize effective patient outcomes.
