G-POEM procedure for treating stomach slow emptying
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have confirmed gastroparesis (stomach slow emptying) based on a stomach scan called scintigraphy.
- Your doctor must have referred you for an endoscopic (camera-based) treatment to control your symptoms.
- You should be seeking symptom relief for gastroparesis, not another condition.

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.
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 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.
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.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called G-POEM (gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy) to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes and severe gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying). It is for patients whose gastroparesis has not improved with standard treatments and who are willing to use a continuous glucose monitor.
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.
