Tests gut and nerve function in people with digestive symptoms
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study maps how the nerves that control digestion and other body functions are working in people with symptoms that may come from nerve-related gut problems. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do NOT have a physical blockage in your digestive tract
- You are not pregnant during the study
- You (or your guardian, if needed) can sign the consent form
- Any mental health condition should not interfere with doing the study steps and assessments

This study looks at how gut bacteria and the brain may be involved when people struggle to control eating. It may help researchers understand the body’s signals behind eating control problems.
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.
This study looks at how nerves behave in small gut tissue samples (biopsies) from people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand IBS symptoms and what might be driving them.
This study looks at how digestive (gut) problems happen in people with Parkinson’s and whether there are related changes in the nerve tissue in the digestive tract. It may help researchers better understand the cause of these symptoms and find new ways to monitor or treat them.
This study uses brain scans (MRIs) and a test meal to understand how the brain and stomach communicate in people with functional dyspepsia (ongoing pain or fullness). This could help improve treatments by identifying how people with this condition feel and process stomach sensations differently.
This study uses small sensors placed on your belly to record electrical signals from your stomach and intestines. It may help doctors better understand conditions like Crohn's disease and other digestive issues without using needles or inside-the-body tests.
