Scientists probe stomach paralysis in diabetes
NCT ID NCT07324785
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why people with diabetes develop gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach doesn't empty properly. Researchers will collect blood and stomach tissue samples from 50 participants to examine how certain molecules affect stomach muscle function. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
