New study probes hidden stomach valve issues in gastroparesis patients
NCT ID NCT04661215
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study is looking at whether people with gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach empties slowly) have problems with the pyloric sphincter, a valve between the stomach and small intestine. Researchers will use special tests like a balloon catheter and a stomach-sensing device to measure how well this valve works. The goal is to understand how common these valve issues are, which could help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
