GASTROPARESIS

This pilot study from Mayo Clinic tests whether virtual reality therapy is safe and tolerable for people with gastroparesis (stomach paralysis). About 30 adults aged 18-75 with idiopathic or diabetic gastroparesis will use VR and report any side effects and symptom changes. The g…

This program allowed people aged 12 and older with severe stomach or gut disorders, like gastroparesis, who failed standard therapy to receive domperidone. The goal was to ease symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and severe indigestion. The program is no longer available.

This study tests a procedure called per-oral pyloromyotomy (POP) to see if it improves stomach emptying and reduces symptoms like nausea and vomiting in people with gastroparesis. About 100 adults who have not gotten better with medication will be randomly assigned to either the …

This study looks at how the vagus nerve sends signals in people with gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach empties slowly) who already have a gastric electrical stimulator implanted. Researchers will use a flexible, non-invasive electrode patch on the neck to measure nerve…

This study tests a new device that uses stickers on the belly to measure the stomach's electrical activity. Researchers will compare readings from healthy adults and people with conditions like gastroparesis or functional dyspepsia. The goal is to see if the device is safe and re…

This study looks at how a stomach pacemaker (gastric electrical stimulation) affects the vagus nerve and heart rate in people with gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties slowly. Researchers will measure heart signals and hormone levels with the device on and off. Th…

This study explores whether stimulating a nerve in the ear can reach the vagus nerve, which controls stomach function. Researchers will test this in 131 healthy volunteers and people with gastroparesis (a stomach condition causing nausea and vomiting). The goal is to see if this …

This study was designed to see if two special probes could predict which patients with severe stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) would get better from a procedure called G-POEM. The researchers planned to measure stomach muscle function before the procedure. However, the study was…
