Clinical Trial Summary

This study will explore the use of Cereset Research for symptoms associated with refractory chronic nausea in patients with gastroparesis (GP) in a randomized, clinical trial.


Clinical Trial Description

Cereset Research (CR) is a noninvasive, close-loop, acoustic stimulation brain feedback system. CR translates brainwaves in real time, echoing them immediately via earbuds. This supports the brain to auto calibrate, self adjust, and relax (acoustic neuromodulation). The brain wave patterns are observed to shift towards improved balance and reduced hyperarousal, getting unstuck from what have become stuck patterns related to trauma and stress. Previous clinical trials using CR, as well as the legacy technology HIRREM, have shown significant benefit to reduce symptoms (stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), persistent post-concussion symptoms, hot flashes, and others). Improved autonomic nervous system function has also been documented) heart rate variability and variable reflex sensitivity), as well as improved network connectivity on functional Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after the intervention. Gastroparesis with normal gastric emptying, and associated chronic nausea, is a challenging clinical condition. There is associated autonomic dysfunction, along with many behavioral symptoms, and effective treatments are lacking. Based on prior studies, there is a reason to believe that CR may have beneficial effects for such patients. This controlled clinical trial will enroll up to 24 adults, age 18 or older, who have symptoms of chronic nausea (due to gastroparesis and who are not taking medications or supplements for management of symptoms) with a goal of 20 to complete the intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an Early Intervention (EI) group which will receive 6 CR sessions over 4 weeks of audible tones echoing current brainwave activity, following enrollment, or a Delayed Intervention (DI) group which will continue current care only and will serve as a control group. Participants in both groups will continue their other current care throughout the study. ;
