Scientists map Stomach-Brain signals with magnetic pulses
NCT ID NCT05924009
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to find the best way to record electrical signals from the stomach to the brain using a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Researchers will test different stimulation settings in 155 healthy adults to see what works best. The goal is to standardize a method for measuring gastric evoked potentials, which could help understand conditions like nausea or bloating in the future.
What this could mean
