Testing stomach opening muscle problems in people with gastroparesis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 85 years old (depending on whether you’re in the symptom group or control group).
- Have gastroparesis symptoms (for the symptom group), with a Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index score of at least 2.0.
- If you’re in the symptom group: you must have had a 4-hour stomach emptying scan within the last 6 months for regular clinical care.
- Be willing to follow study rules during visits, including fasting after midnight and not starting new treatments during the study.
- Before each visit, stop specific medicines and supplements for 3 days (your study team will list exactly which ones apply to you).
- If you’re a control participant: you must be getting an upper endoscopy for a medical reason and have minimal upper GI symptoms.

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.
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 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.
This trial tests a procedure called G-POEM that may help with severe gastroparesis, where the stomach is slow to empty. It aims to improve blood sugar control and stomach symptoms for people with diabetes.
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.
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.
