Summary

This study tests a device called IB-Stim, which uses mild electrical pulses to calm nerves in the ear, to see if it reduces abdominal pain in adults with gastroparesis-like symptoms (slow stomach emptying). About 140 participants will receive either real or sham (fake) stimulation for 4 weeks. The main goal is to measure pain changes, with a secondary look at heart rate variability.
