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.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–85 - 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.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–85 - 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 - 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.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–70 - 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 - 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.

What taking part in a gastroparesis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there gastroparesis clinical trials in Kentucky?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting gastroparesis studies with a site in Kentucky, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a gastroparesis study in Kentucky?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Kentucky to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Kentucky, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a gastroparesis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
