Test Meal and Monitoring in Teens With GI Symptoms
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.

This study checks whether a noninvasive “mapping” test placed on the belly and chest can help tell apart people with certain upper stomach symptoms from healthy controls. It may help researchers better understand stomach function and symptoms without relying only on invasive tests.
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 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.
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 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.
