NCT ID NCT04661215

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying) have problems with the pyloric sphincter, a muscle that controls food leaving the stomach. Researchers will use special tests to measure how well this muscle works in 150 adults with symptoms. The goal is to learn how common these abnormalities are, not to provide treatment.
