Recruiting studies
- NCT05229432Recruiting
Oatmeal meal test to study stomach movement in eosinophilic gastritis
This study looks at how your stomach moves (gastric motility) in people with eosinophilic gastritis, using a special oatmeal meal. The goal is to better understand stomach function and how it may relate to symptoms.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–59 - NCT05647135Recruiting
High-protein tube feeds for multiple trauma ICU patients
This trial studies whether very high protein tube-feeding helps critically ill adults with multiple injuries recover better in the ICU. It compares feeding approaches during the time you need breathing support.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06401746Recruiting
Gastric mapping study for people on semaglutide
This study uses a non-invasive test (body surface gastric mapping) to look at stomach activity in people taking semaglutide. It aims to understand how the medicine affects digestion.
Campbelltown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06493032Recruiting
Gastric mapping to check G-POEM success
This study uses a non-invasive stomach-mapping test (BSGM) to see if a G-POEM procedure (a treatment for gastroparesis) works well. It may help doctors better understand how the stomach empties after the procedure.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06510348Recruiting
Feeding support for ventilated patients with gut issues
This trial tests a special approach to nutrition for patients on breathing machines who have trouble digesting food. It aims to see if the new method helps meet nutritional needs better.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT06580197Recruiting
Ear acupuncture after belly surgery to help recovery
This trial looks at whether ear acupuncture can help people recover after major abdominal surgeries like Whipple, pancreatectomy, or subtotal gastrectomy. It may help reduce digestive problems by tracking a substance called AAT (alpha-1 antitrypsin).
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 40–70 - NCT06582576Recruiting
How gastric electrical stimulation helps gastroparesis
This study looks at how a gastric electrical stimulator works to treat gastroparesis. It compares people who feel their symptoms improve a lot or not much, to understand the device's effects.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06854120Recruiting
Stomach Mapping in People with Stomach Motility Issues
This study tests a stomach mapping device (BSGM) to see how a prokinetic medication changes stomach activity in people with gastroparesis or functional dyspepsia. If you qualify, you'll have two non-invasive recordings—one before and one during your treatment.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07104214Recruiting
Predicting stomach retention risk before sedated endoscopy
This study is building a tool to predict if a patient's stomach will empty normally before a sedated upper endoscopy (gastroscopy). It tests risk factors that help doctors plan safer procedures.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT01696734RecruitingPhase 3
Domperidone for difficult stomach and reflux problems
This trial studies whether domperidone can help people whose stomach or reflux symptoms did not improve with usual treatments. It focuses on symptoms like slow stomach emptying, hard-to-control acid reflux, or severe indigestion.
Houston, TexasAges 16 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT02165059Recruiting
Stomach and small-bowel tissue study during surgery
This study collects small tissue samples from the stomach and upper small intestine while you’re already having certain kinds of GI (digestive) or abdominal surgery. It aims to learn what causes stomach or bowel movement problems in some patients, which could guide future diagnosis and care.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 6 months–90 years - NCT07505927Recruiting
Acupuncture for slow stomach emptying after stomach surgery
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 - NCT06215547Enrolling by invitation
Nerve stimulator for nausea and vomiting
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the stomach to help control severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis (stomach that empties slowly). It is for people aged 18–70 whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
Richardson, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT05047289Enrolling by invitation
Registry study for a new stomach pacemaker
This study records outcomes for people who need a new implanted stomach electrical stimulation device for severe stomach emptying problems (gastroparesis) that haven’t improved with usual treatments. It may help doctors learn which patients benefit most and how to manage the device over time.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastroparesis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 42 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.
