Nighttime cycling of Enterra pacemaker for gastroparesis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to program the Enterra stomach pacemaker so it cycles at night, aiming to improve gastroparesis symptoms. It's for people who already have the device and have stable symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You already have an Enterra stomach pacemaker (the device must have been placed within the last 4 years).
- Your gastroparesis symptoms should be stable and you are on a steady treatment plan.
- You need to be able to read and understand English, and have a device with internet access at home.
- You cannot have nausea or vomiting that is severe at night or in the morning, and you must have a regular sleep schedule.

This study tests whether a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the stomach, already implanted for at least 8 weeks, can reduce daily stomach pain in people with gastroparesis. It may help if you have had chronic stomach pain for more than 2 months.
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 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 a surgically implanted device that stimulates the stomach (called a GES device) affects your body's insulin levels. Researchers will collect blood samples over several hours to understand if and how the device influences insulin production.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the ear (called percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation) can help reduce nausea and vomiting and improve nervous system function in people with diabetes and gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying). If you have had gastroparesis for at least a year, this might be a non-drug option to help control your symptoms.
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.
