Gastric Stimulation Device for Gastroparesis Belly Pain
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a special implanted device that sends gentle electrical pulses to your stomach can help reduce chronic belly pain caused by gastroparesis (a condition where the stomach doesn't empty food properly). You must already have this device implanted and be experiencing moderate to severe daily pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying)
- You had an Enterra™ electrical stimulation device implanted at least 8 weeks ago
- You have daily belly pain related to your stomach that has lasted more than 2 months, with an average pain level of 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale
- You are not taking daily opioid pain medications
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have uncontrolled diabetes (blood sugar control)

This study tests a new way to program the Enterra stomach pacemaker so it cycles at night, aiming to improve gastroparesis symptoms. It's for people who already have the device and have stable symptoms.
This study records outcomes for people who need a new implanted stomach electrical stimulation device for severe stomach emptying problems (gastroparesis) that haven’t improved with usual treatments. It may help doctors learn which patients benefit most and how to manage the device over time.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment called percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation to see if it can help control symptoms like nausea and vomiting in people with diabetes-related gastroparesis. It aims to ease digestive symptoms and calm overactive nerves.
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 trial tests a new way to program an implanted device (Enterra®) to better treat severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. If you have frequent nausea and vomiting despite other treatments, this study might help find a better setting for your device.
This trial tests a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the stomach to help control severe nausea and vomiting caused by gastroparesis (stomach that empties slowly). It is for people aged 18–70 whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
