GASTROPARESIS

This program provides access to the drug domperidone for young people aged 12-21 who have severe gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) or GERD that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Participants take the medication four times daily and are closely monitored with regular heart…

This study is collecting information on a procedure called G-POEM, which is used to treat gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach is slow to empty. Researchers will track 75 patients who get this endoscopic procedure to see how it affects their symptoms and quality of life. T…

This study aims to create a simple scoring system that helps doctors predict which patients may have food or liquid remaining in their stomach before undergoing sedated gastroscopy (a camera examination of the stomach). Researchers will follow 5,000 patients to identify risk fact…

This early study is testing whether low-dose growth hormone can improve symptoms like nausea, pain, and bloating in people with gastroparesis (stomach paralysis). Researchers at Mayo Clinic will enroll 10 patients who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments. They'll…

This study is testing if ear acupuncture can help people recover after major abdominal surgeries like Whipple procedures or partial stomach removal. It aims to see if this therapy can ease common post-surgery problems like slow stomach emptying, nausea, pain, anxiety, and poor sl…

This study is testing whether gentle electrical stimulation on the outer ear can improve communication between the brain and stomach in people with functional dyspepsia or gastroparesis. Researchers will measure brain activity and stomach function while participants receive this …

This study is testing whether a seated yoga program is practical and helpful for people with functional dyspepsia or gastroparesis, conditions that cause chronic nausea and vomiting. Researchers are adapting a yoga program originally designed for cancer patients to see if it's su…

This study is testing a drug called domperidone for people with severe, chronic stomach disorders like gastroparesis and reflux disease who haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The drug aims to help the stomach empty food more quickly, which may reduce symptoms like pa…

This study aims to find out if eosinophilic gastritis, a condition where too many white blood cells build up in the stomach lining, causes the stomach to empty too slowly. Researchers will observe 30 participants with the condition, using a special scan that tracks a radioactive …

This study is testing a non-invasive tool called Body Surface Gastric Mapping (BSGM) to see if it can help doctors predict which patients with severe gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) will benefit most from a specific endoscopic procedure called G-POEM. Researchers will enroll 20…

This study is creating a long-term database to track 3000 patients with gastroparesis symptoms over many years. Researchers will collect detailed information about symptoms, quality of life, and various treatments patients receive, including electrical stimulation and immunothera…

This study is collecting information on patients who are already scheduled to receive a standard medical procedure called POEM for conditions like achalasia, gastroparesis, and Zenker's diverticulum. It will follow 600 adults for 4-5 years to see how effective the procedure is lo…

This study aims to understand if problems with the pyloric sphincter—the muscle valve between the stomach and small intestine—are common in people experiencing symptoms of gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). Researchers will compare 150 participants with gastroparesis symptoms…

This study aims to understand stomach activity in children with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like nausea and pain. Researchers will use a non-invasive device placed on the skin to record stomach electrical patterns for up to 4 hours in both healthy kids and those with GI disord…
