Thyroid problems and stomach emptying study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how thyroid problems affect the movement of the esophagus (the tube that carries food to your stomach) and how fast the stomach empties. Researchers want to understand these issues in people with different thyroid conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a diagnosed thyroid condition: either an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), or a mild (subclinical) thyroid disorder.
- You cannot be taking any medicines that affect how your stomach or esophagus moves food.
- You cannot have an active infection (like a fever or the flu) or have had a major surgery or serious injury in the last 6 months.
- You cannot have a history of cancer, liver cirrhosis, inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or colitis), or weight-loss surgery.

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 measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
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 uses a bedside ultrasound to see how epilepsy and seizure medications affect stomach emptying before surgery. It aims to help doctors understand if current fasting rules are safe for people with epilepsy.
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.
