About this study

Official title: Escalating Temporary Gastric Electrical Stimulation for Severe Gastroparesis

The purpose of this study is to determine the physiologic effects of temporary gastric electrical stimulation in subjects with severe gastroparesis.

Read the detailed description

This study will look to determine the clinical benefit placing temporary gastric electrical stimulation, the ability to predict the clinical response to surgical implantation of GES, and the feasibility and patient tolerability of endoscopic placement of temporary Gastric Electrical Stimulator (t-GES),

Conditions
Gastroparesis
Keywords
gastroparesis, gastric electrical stimulator, GES, vomiting, nausea, bloating, postprandial fullness, epigastric pain
Medical subject headings
Gastroparesis, Vomiting, Nausea

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Improvement in the symptoms of gastroparesis by t-GES in patients with severe gastroparesis.

    Review the symptoms before and after the t-GES placements and follow for any improvement

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical response to t-GES placement as measured by questionnaires

    Measuring the responses to questionnaires before and after placement of GES

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Develop a prospective registry in patients undergoing escalating t-GES

    Have a database of patients undergoing t-GES placement

    Measured: 1 year

  3. determine the feasibility and patient tolerability of endoscopic placement of t-GES

    Determine if placement of t-GES is feasible and if the patients tolerate the t-GES

    Measured: 1 year

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement in the symptoms of gastroparesis by t-GES in patients with severe gastroparesis. (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
