Stomach mapping may predict G-POEM success in gastroparesis
NCT ID NCT06493032
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive device called Body Surface Gastric Mapping can predict which patients with gastroparesis will benefit from G-POEM surgery. Researchers will monitor 20 patients before and after the procedure using a sticky electrode patch on the stomach area. The goal is to see if the device's readings match surgical outcomes and help guide treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Gastric Alimetry System (Body Surface Gastric Mapping device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors identify which gastroparesis patients are most likely to benefit from G-POEM surgery, avoiding unnecessary procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study (20 people) that is only observing outcomes, not testing a treatment. The device may not reliably predict surgical success.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * • Patients clinically eligible for G-Poem at our center. Exclusion Criteria: * • Pregnant or breast-feeding * Patients with gastroparesis due to spinal cord injuries due to difficulties in conducting the BSGM. Of note, we rarely see gastroparesis in this context. * Inability to perform BSGM: history of severe skin allergies or sensitivity to cosmetics or lotions; chronically damaged or vulnerable epigastric skin (fragile skin, wounds, inflammation); patients unable to remain in a relaxed reclined position for the test duration. * Patients with abdominal drains or tubes
