Tiny electrical pulses tested to soothe Kids' stomachs

NCT ID NCT07474415

Summary

This study tested whether a therapy called gastric electrical stimulation (GES) could help children with severe, long-lasting nausea and vomiting that hasn't improved with standard medicines. For eight days, 30 children had a thin tube placed to deliver gentle electrical pulses to their stomach. The device was secretly turned off for four days and on for four days to see if active stimulation reduced symptoms and helped them tolerate more food and drink.
