Stomach signals may reveal hidden nausea in kids
NCT ID NCT03593811
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether special devices placed on the belly can detect differences in stomach activity between children with nausea and healthy children. Researchers used electrogastrogram (EGG) and magnetogastrogram (MGG) recordings to measure stomach slow waves. The goal was to better understand functional nausea without any invasive procedures. No treatment was given; this was purely an observational study.
