- NCT06661668Recruiting
Stomach pacemaker implant for severe gastroparesis
This study tests whether placing a small, implanted device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the stomach can improve symptoms of severe gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach empties too slowly. It's for people whose symptoms haven't been controlled with other treatments and are significantly affecting their daily life.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05846802Recruiting
Gastroparesis and stomach symptoms registry for adults
This registry is for adults with long-lasting stomach emptying problems or related symptoms, helping researchers better understand patterns of nausea, pain, and fullness. You may be able to join if you meet specific symptom and test results, and can complete a stomach-emptying scan.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT06836557RecruitingPhase 3
A safety study of tradipitant for stomach paralysis
This study is testing the safety of an investigational drug called tradipitant in people with stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) caused by unknown reasons or diabetes. It looks at how well the drug is tolerated over time.
LeuvenAges 18–70 - NCT06560307Recruiting
Enhanced stimulation for gastroparesis relief
This trial tests a new way to program an implanted device (Enterra®) to better treat severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. If you have frequent nausea and vomiting despite other treatments, this study might help find a better setting for your device.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05980455Recruiting
Nighttime cycling of Enterra pacemaker for gastroparesis
This study tests a new way to program the Enterra stomach pacemaker so it cycles at night, aiming to improve gastroparesis symptoms. It's for people who already have the device and have stable symptoms.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–70 - NCT05981300Recruiting
Pediatric Gastroparesis Research Registry
This study collects information from children and young adults with gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach empties slowly). It helps researchers understand how this condition affects people over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–25 - NCT04661215Recruiting
Testing stomach opening muscle problems in people with gastroparesis
This study looks at whether abnormal function of the pyloric “stomach outlet” muscle is linked to gastroparesis symptoms (slow stomach emptying). It may help researchers better understand what causes symptoms and guide future treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–85 - NCT06372132Recruiting
G-POEM vs PEG-J for gastroparesis treatment
This trial compares two treatments for gastroparesis: a procedure called G-POEM (which opens the stomach's outlet valve) and a feeding tube (PEG-J) that bypasses the stomach. It aims to see which is better at helping food move through the stomach.
Maastricht, Zuid-LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07717554Recruiting
Virtual yoga for diabetic stomach-pain relief
This study tests if virtual yoga classes can help people with diabetes and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying) feel better. It looks at whether yoga can ease symptoms like nausea, bloating, and stomach pain.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT07324785Recruiting
Link between sugar substances and stomach problems in diabetes
This study looks at how sugar-related substances (called advanced glycation end products) might affect stomach muscle function in people with diabetes who have gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). It compares them to people without diabetes to better understand the link.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07287943Recruiting
Medtronic pump study for diabetes and gastroparesis
This study tests whether the Medtronic 780G insulin pump helps people with type 1 diabetes and gastroparesis (slowed stomach emptying) control their blood sugar better than their usual care. It requires continuous glucose monitoring and certain blood sugar levels.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06803589RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Growth hormone for hard-to-treat stomach paralysis
This study tests if growth hormone can help people with long-term stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) that hasn't improved with standard care. It looks at whether the treatment reduces symptoms like nausea and feeling full too quickly.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–65 - NCT06340217Recruiting
Washed Microbiota Transplant for Diabetic Stomach Paralysis
This trial tests a new treatment called washed microbiota transplantation for diabetic gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach empties slowly due to diabetes. If you have had diabetes for over a year and struggle with bloating or feeling full quickly, this study may explore whether transplanting healthy gut bacteria can help relieve your symptoms.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–100 - NCT06046833Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitoring for diabetic gastroparesis
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help manage blood sugar in people with diabetes and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and stomach symptoms, this could help doctors better understand your glucose patterns.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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+ - NCT04699591Recruiting
Domperidone for severe stomach movement problems
This trial looks at whether domperidone can help people ages 12–21 with symptoms from stomach not moving well when usual treatments haven’t worked. It’s designed for cases where other causes have been ruled out and patients are monitored for possible heart and hormone side effects.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 12–21 - NCT04434781Recruiting
G-POEM procedure for treating stomach slow emptying
This trial looks at a stomach procedure called G-POEM to help relieve symptoms of gastroparesis, which means the stomach empties too slowly. If you’re an adult with confirmed gastroparesis and have been referred for endoscopic treatment, you may be able to take part.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT03876288Recruiting
Study tracks symptoms and nutrition in hard-to-treat gastroparesis
This study follows people with drug-refractory gastroparesis (stomach paralysis symptoms that don’t improve with usual medicines) to better understand how symptoms and nutrition change over time. Your information may help researchers understand patterns that could improve care.
Louisville, KentuckyAges Any age - NCT06068114Recruiting
Stomach function study in people with diabetes
This study looks at how diabetes affects stomach function by measuring stomach activity with special tests. It may help doctors better understand and treat stomach problems in people with diabetes.
OstravaAges 18–70 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07717541Recruiting
Virtual poetry workshops for anxiety and stomach issues
This study tests if joining a facilitated online poetry workshop can help reduce anxiety and improve well-being for people with stomach discomfort. You would attend virtual group sessions and share poems you create.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastroparesis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting gastroparesis 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 gastroparesis 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 gastroparesis 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.
