Cardiac Vagal Effects of Gastric Electrical Stimulation and Vagal Nerve Action Potentials in Vagus nerve in Patients with Gastroparesis- Randomized Phase

Study on a Device Used to Help Control Stomach Movements and Gastroparesis Symptoms

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates the effects of a Gastric Electric Stimulator (GES) on symptoms of gastroparesis, which include nausea and vomiting. Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach cannot empty food properly due to nerve or muscle problems. The study aims to see if the GES can influence the vagus nerve, which is important for controlling stomach movements.

Participants will have their GES device programmed to test different electrical signals. The study will compare the results of these programmed signals to see if they improve symptoms better than the usual adjustments made to the device.

  • Who can participate: Adults diagnosed with gastroparesis who already have a GES device implanted and experience more than mild nausea and vomiting can participate. Pregnant individuals and those with allergies to EKG lead adhesives are excluded.
  • Study details: Participants will undergo programming of their existing GES device to test different settings. The study will involve monitoring the effects of these settings on their symptoms.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
