Recruiting studies
- NCT07375680Recruiting
Blood sugar and stomach emptying study before surgery
This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.

This study looks at how GLP-1 medications affect the time it takes for your stomach to empty before anesthesia. It may help doctors decide if you need to take special precautions before your surgery.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–90 - NCT02665923Recruiting
Testing stomach emptying after formula in babies
This study measures how quickly a baby’s stomach empties after formula feeding. It may help doctors better understand normal digestion timing in newborns and infants.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 1 year - NCT07296692Recruiting
Does a protein drink change stomach emptying in older adults?
This study tests if a special drink with protein and carbs affects how fast the stomach empties in healthy older adults. It aims to improve nutritional care for elderly people.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 60–90 - NCT07505927Recruiting

This study tests whether acupuncture can help improve slow stomach emptying that sometimes happens after partial stomach removal surgery. It's for people who have this specific problem and want to try a non-drug option.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07415616Enrolling by invitation
Cold vs warm tube feeding and stomach emptying in ICU
This study compares giving liquid food at room temperature (cold) versus body temperature (warm) through a feeding tube to see which helps the stomach empty better in ICU patients. It may help find a way to improve comfort and nutrition for people who need tube feeding.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT06391255Enrolling by invitation
Normal stomach emptying test values after weight-loss surgery
This study measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18–65 - NCT07851727Recruiting
Focused ultrasound for delayed stomach emptying
This study tests whether focused ultrasound (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can help improve symptoms of gastroparesis or delayed gastric emptying. It involves two visits where you will drink a nutritional shake and receive the ultrasound treatment, to see if it helps your stomach empty more normally.
Austin, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT04229043Recruiting
Test drink timing to study stomach emptying in late labor
This study measures how quickly a pregnant person’s stomach empties a water or sports drink during late labor. It may help improve safety and timing of what people can drink when labor is starting or being induced.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT07681128Recruiting
Studying a new surgical stitch to help stomach emptying after pancreas surgery
This trial is testing whether adding a special connection (Braun anastomosis) between two parts of the small intestine during pancreas surgery can reduce delayed stomach emptying, a common problem after the procedure.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07802379Recruiting
Tube feeding tolerance with different blood pressure medications in the intensive care unit
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07506356Recruiting
Stomach emptying in diabetes patients on GLP-1 drugs
This study uses an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07407530Recruiting
Sipping fluids before planned c-section
This trial tests whether drinking small amounts of clear fluids up until surgery is safe for women having a planned c-section. It uses an ultrasound to check the stomach before the procedure.
Dublin, Ireland/County DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT05674643Recruiting
Gastric testing during children’s surgery
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 2–18 - NCT06643325Recruiting
Gastric emptying after traumatic injuries
This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
WinterthurAges 18 years+ - NCT06306963Recruiting
Stomach blood vessel condition and digestion symptoms study
This study looks at people with a stomach condition called gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) to understand how it affects digestion and causes symptoms. Researchers want to learn if stomach muscle function problems are common in this condition.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 19 years+ - NCT06814080Recruiting
Stomach Content Study for GLP-1 Users Before Surgery
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03741777Recruiting
Comparing stomach fluid left after different clear drinks in kids
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–17 - NCT06581120Enrolling by invitation
Stomach ultrasound study for diabetes and obesity
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–25 - NCT05725967Enrolling by invitation
Endoscopic and bariatric procedures for obesity
This study looks at people who are having obesity-related procedures, including options done with a scope (endoscopic) and revision after prior bariatric surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for people undergoing these treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06452966Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastric emptying?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting gastric emptying studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a gastric emptying trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a gastric emptying trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
