Brain-stomach circuits in chronic nausea
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain and stomach communicate in people with chronic nausea. It uses a noninvasive brain stimulation method called TMS to understand brain activity. You may qualify if you have chronic nausea or are a healthy volunteer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between the ages of 21 and 60.
- You either have chronic nausea or are a healthy volunteer (no stomach or nausea problems).
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during the study.
- You have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or lower.
- You have not had chemotherapy, stomach cancer, or stomach surgery.
- You are not taking certain medications like Ozempic, Wellbutrin, or Prozac.

This study looks at how sensitive your brain is (brain “excitability”) in people with cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). It may help researchers understand what is happening in the brain during CVS and how it could be treated in the future.
This study tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to your stomach to help with chronic nausea and vomiting. It is for people who have had nausea for over 6 months, have normal stomach emptying, and have not found relief from standard medications.
This study looks at how vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects how your stomach works, like emptying and stretching. It may help researchers understand the digestive side effects of VNS in people who already have a VNS device for epilepsy or depression.
This study tests whether a small device that gently stimulates a nerve in your ear can help reduce nausea. Researchers will enroll healthy adults to see if this non-drug approach is safe and effective.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic pulses) to see if it can change how the brain values and processes chronic pain, potentially helping to reduce pain.
This trial tests a non-surgical treatment for achalasia using magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. It aims to improve swallowing by re-training the muscles involved, and may be an option for patients who haven't responded to other treatments.
