Stomach surgery shows promise for Drug-Resistant gastroparesis
NCT ID NCT04869670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a procedure called G-POEM, which uses a scope to cut the pylorus muscle, against a sham surgery in people with severe gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) that did not improve with medication. Only 3 patients enrolled before the study ended early. The goal was to see if G-POEM safely reduces nausea, bloating, and stomach pain over 12 months and improves quality of life.
