Massive study aims to unlock secrets of stomach paralysis after pancreas surgery
NCT ID NCT07382791
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some people develop delayed gastric emptying (stomach not emptying properly) after pancreatic surgery. Researchers will review medical records of 3500 patients who had pancreatic surgery to find risk factors, such as surgical method or feeding tube use. The goal is to better understand this common complication and improve future treatment recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this analysis could lead to better ways to predict and manage delayed gastric emptying after pancreatic surgery, improving patient recovery and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study looking back at past records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients or lead to immediate changes in care.
