Gastrointestinal Motility clinical trials
Below are recruiting gastrointestinal motility clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 12 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06631001Recruiting
Abdominal massage for digestion in ICU patients on tube feeding
This study tests if gentle abdominal massage can improve digestion in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid food through a tube. It might help prevent gastrointestinal issues like bloating or slow digestion.
MersinAges 18 years+ - NCT07425249Recruiting
Chewing gum after stomach or bowel surgery
This trial tests if chewing gum after open stomach or bowel surgery can help your intestines start moving again sooner. It is for people undergoing open gastrointestinal surgery who do not have certain health conditions or take specific medicines.
Peshawar, KPKAges 17–85 - NCT05880199Recruiting
Test Meal and Monitoring in Teens With GI Symptoms
This study studies how a standardized meal affects digestion using special monitoring in children and young adults with stomach or gut symptom problems (and compares them to healthy controls). It may help doctors understand what causes gut symptoms and guide better treatments.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 8–25 - NCT04208828Recruiting
IVIG for difficult gastrointestinal auto-immune nerve symptoms
This trial tests intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a donated antibody treatment, for people whose gastrointestinal (GI) “motor” symptoms are not improving with standard care and may be auto-immune related. If you’re eligible, IVIG could help calm the immune system and improve gut movement symptoms.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 12–90 - NCT07369726Recruiting
Mobilization and caffeine after cesarean
This trial tests whether getting out of bed and drinking coffee after a planned cesarean can help reduce pain and speed up recovery. It is for women who have moderate to severe pain after surgery.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–35 - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT05905016Recruiting
Testing an endoscopy procedure for gut movement problems
This study looks at how useful the POEM procedure is for people with gut “motility” (trouble moving food through the digestive tract). If you’re already scheduled for POEM, your team will also track how well it helps and whether it’s practical in real care.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05989763Recruiting
Constipation study for people with systemic sclerosis
This study looks at why people with systemic sclerosis (a disease that can affect connective tissues) develop constipation. It will use special tests to measure how well the colon moves waste, and it may help doctors find better treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07519915Recruiting
Understanding Nerve Stimulation for Bowel Problems in Children
This research study looks at using sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation of nerves in the lower spine—to help children with bowel movement problems. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and what improvements matter most to patients and families.
ErlangenAges 3–18 - NCT05132816Recruiting
Test manometry after partial anti-reflux surgery
This study checks how well a swallowing test called high-resolution manometry works after partial anti-reflux surgery. It focuses on adults with certain abnormal esophagus muscle patterns to help doctors understand what to expect after the operation.
Schlieren, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT05812339Enrolling by invitation
Mapping tests for stomach symptoms using body-surface sensors
This study checks whether a noninvasive “mapping” test placed on the belly and chest can help tell apart people with certain upper stomach symptoms from healthy controls. It may help researchers better understand stomach function and symptoms without relying only on invasive tests.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05455359RecruitingPhase 4
Tube-fed children at high risk for aspiration pneumonia
This Phase 4 study looks at gastrointestinal movement (dysmotility) and how it may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children who eat through a tube and have swallowing safety problems. It may help doctors better prevent lung infections in children who cough/choke and need suction often.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–21

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastrointestinal motility?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting gastrointestinal motility 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 gastrointestinal motility 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 gastrointestinal motility 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.
