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 trial tests whether an endoscopic procedure that cuts a stomach outlet muscle can help with weight loss and be safe. You would be screened to make sure you don’t have certain stomach, heart/lung, or pregnancy-related conditions that could make the procedure unsafe.
This study uses ultrasound to see how quickly your stomach empties after a meal. It aims to learn more about normal stomach function in healthy adults.
This study looks at how diabetes affects stomach function by measuring stomach activity with special tests. It may help doctors better understand and treat stomach problems in people with diabetes.
This study tests a temporary balloon placed in the stomach to help with weight loss. It is for people who have tried losing weight before and have a BMI between 30 and 40.
This trial tests a stomach procedure called endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) to help with weight loss and blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may be an option if you have obesity and are considering insulin therapy.
