GASTROPARESIS

This program provides access to the drug domperidone for young people aged 12-21 who have severe gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) or GERD that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Participants take the medication four times daily and are closely monitored with regular heart…

This study is collecting information on a procedure called G-POEM, which is used to treat gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach is slow to empty. Researchers will track 75 patients who get this endoscopic procedure to see how it affects their symptoms and quality of life. T…

This study aims to create a simple scoring system that helps doctors predict which patients might have leftover food or liquid in their stomach during sedated gastroscopy procedures. Researchers will follow 5,000 patients undergoing these common stomach exams to identify risk fac…

This study is testing a drug called domperidone for people with severe, chronic stomach disorders like gastroparesis and reflux disease who haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The drug aims to help the stomach empty food more quickly, which may reduce symptoms like pa…

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-painful electrical stimulation applied to the outer ear can improve communication between the brain and stomach. Researchers want to see if this stimulation can reduce symptoms like nausea, fullness, and pain in people with chronic indi…

This early-stage study is testing whether a low dose of growth hormone can help relieve the difficult symptoms of gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties too slowly. It will involve 10 adults whose symptoms have lasted over 6 months and have not improved with standar…

This study is testing if a seated yoga program is a practical and acceptable way to help manage nausea and vomiting for people with functional dyspepsia or gastroparesis. Researchers are adapting a yoga program originally designed for cancer patients to see if it works for these …

This study is testing whether ear acupuncture can help patients recover normal stomach function after major abdominal surgeries like Whipple procedures or partial stomach removal. Researchers will observe 159 patients aged 40-70 to see if the therapy reduces symptoms like nausea,…

This study is creating a long-term database to track 3000 patients with gastroparesis symptoms over many years. Researchers will collect detailed information about symptoms, quality of life, and various treatments patients receive, including electrical stimulation and immunothera…

This study is testing a non-invasive tool called Body Surface Gastric Mapping (BSGM) to see if it can help doctors predict which patients with severe gastroparesis will benefit most from a specific endoscopic surgery called G-POEM. Researchers will enroll 20 patients and use the …

This study is collecting information on patients who are already scheduled to receive a standard medical procedure called POEM for conditions like achalasia, gastroparesis, and Zenker's diverticulum. It will follow 600 adults for 4-5 years to see how effective the procedure is lo…

This study aims to understand if problems with the pyloric sphincter—the muscle valve between the stomach and small intestine—are common in people experiencing symptoms of gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). Researchers will compare 150 participants with gastroparesis symptoms…

This study aims to understand stomach activity in children with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like nausea and pain. Researchers will use a non-invasive device placed on the skin to record stomach electrical patterns for up to 4 hours in both healthy kids and those with GI disord…
