Scientists decode nerve signals to improve stomach pacemaker therapy

This study looks at how the vagus nerve sends signals in people with gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach empties slowly) who already have a gastric electrical stimulator implanted. Researchers will use a flexible, non-invasive electrode patch on the neck to measure nerve activity and see how it relates to symptom relief. The goal is to better understand how the stimulator works, not to test a new treatment. About 40 adults aged 18 to 80 with the stimulator device can join.
