Growth hormone for hard-to-treat stomach paralysis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if growth hormone can help people with long-term stomach paralysis (gastroparesis) that hasn't improved with standard care. It looks at whether the treatment reduces symptoms like nausea and feeling full too quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 tests a new growth hormone injection (Jinpei) to help children who were born small for gestational age (SGA) and are still short for their age. The treatment may help them grow taller.
This study tests if growth hormone can safely help children who are shorter than average for their age and gender. It is for children with certain conditions that cause short stature.
This study tests different doses of a long-acting growth hormone medicine to see which works best for children who are shorter than expected for their age. It may help improve growth in both early and later stages of puberty.
This study tests whether giving a synthetic growth hormone (a protein that helps the body heal) can improve recovery in older adults who have suffered a moderate to severe brain injury. It may help boost protein levels and support brain repair.
