G-POEM vs PEG-J for gastroparesis treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether placing a small, implanted device that sends gentle electrical pulses to the stomach can improve symptoms of severe gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach empties too slowly. It's for people whose symptoms haven't been controlled with other treatments and are significantly affecting their daily life.
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.
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 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 trial tests a new way to program an implanted device (Enterra®) to better treat severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. If you have frequent nausea and vomiting despite other treatments, this study might help find a better setting for your device.
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.
