Summary

This study tests whether a device called the Enterra Therapy System, which is like a pacemaker for the stomach, can reduce chronic nausea and vomiting in people whose stomach empties normally. The device is surgically implanted and sends mild electrical pulses to the stomach. The trial will enroll 148 adults who have had nausea for at least 6 months and haven't gotten relief from drugs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Enterra Therapy System (implantable gastric electrical stimulator)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with chronic nausea and vomiting that hasn't responded to drugs.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with only 148 participants. The device requires surgery and carries risks like infection or lead problems. It may not work for everyone.
