Comparing two stomach tests for gastroparesis diagnosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares a new stomach test (Body Surface Gastric Mapping) with a standard one (Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy) to see which helps doctors better manage gastroparesis. You may join if you have ongoing stomach symptoms like nausea or vomiting and have been referred for a stomach emptying test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You have ongoing stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting that meets the criteria for functional dyspepsia or chronic nausea and vomiting syndrome
- Your doctor has already referred you for a standard gastric emptying test
- You have had a normal stomach exam (gastroscopy) recently
- You have tested negative for H. pylori (or have been treated for it)
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have skin allergies or wounds on your upper belly that would prevent the new mapping test

This study uses a non-invasive test (body surface gastric mapping) to look at stomach activity in people taking semaglutide. It aims to understand how the medicine affects digestion.
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 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 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 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.
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.
