Filter by:The purpose of this registry is to evaluate if sleeve gastrectomy surgery will help with symptoms of delayed gastric emptying for patients suffering from diabetic gastroparesis.
Gastroparesis is a disorder triggered by numerous causes and it is defined by symptoms and with an objective evidence of delayed gastric emptying in the absence of obstruction. Effective treatment for gastroparesis is challenging especially in patients with severe symptoms. In refractory gastroparesis, endoscopic or surgical treatments may therefore be considered. Endoscopic treatments include intrapyloric injection of botulinum toxin and transpyloric insertion of a metallic stent. Surgical options involve implantation of a gastric "pacemaker" (gastric stimulation), pyloroplasty and subtotal gastrectomy. Recently, a new endoscopic technique, gastric endoscopic per oral pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) has been introduced with promising preliminary results. The aim of this prospective, sham-controlled, cross-over study (cross-over for patients randomized to the sham arm) is to compare short and long-term efficacy and safety of G-POEM in patients with refractory gastroparesis. Symptoms and objective parameters of gastric emptying will be the main outcome criteria. The reason of using a sham protocol is to control for the potential confounders (therapeutic effects of touch and belief, which are components of the placebo effect).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the stimulant laxative Senokot-S® for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis. Senokot-S, and its metabolites, are thought to produce peristalsis, drive intraluminal fluid and electrolyte shifts, and have an irritant effect on the gut mucosa. These complex physiologic mechanisms appear may sufficiently promote stomach emp-tying, and thereby reduce or eliminate the severity of gastroparesis symptoms. In this open label study, participants will be randomized into high and low dose groups to assess for ideal dosing and tolerability. It is the overall goal of this study to select the most promising dose-strength for the treatment of mild through severe gastroparesis.
An innovative method of needleless transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA) using a newly developed watch-size stimulator is proposed. Weak electrical current will be delivered via skin surface electrodes to acupuncture points related to gastrointestinal functions. The stimulator can be attached to the skin near the acupuncture points and therefore daily activity of the patient does not need to be altered. Two experiments are designed to prove the feasibility of the proposed therapy for gastric complications of Scleroderma .
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of relamorelin compared to placebo in participants with diabetic gastroparesis. Participants will report daily severity scores of their diabetic gastroparesis symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-dependent effects of TAK-954 on gastric emptying time of solids in participants with diabetic or idiopathic gastroparesis assessed by scintigraphy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, PK and PD of TAK-906 in participants with Gastroparesis (GP).
Investigators assess the gastric contents by ultrasonography in fasted patients undergoing cholecystectomy.
Autonomic, inflammatory, enteric, electrophysiologic and hormonal.
There is a tremendous clinical need for a noninvasive technique that can assess gastric electrical activity and would be repeatable without any exposure to radiation. Investigators developed a new technique allowing to use noninvasive methods to assess bioelectrical activity in the gastrointestinal system. This has enabled to characterize the normal and pathologic physiology of the stomach through the use of noninvasive magnetogastrogram (MGG) records. Primary hypothesis for this proposal is that analysis of gastric slow wave uncoupling and propagation in multichannel MGG discriminates between normal and pathological gastric electrical activity. Eventually, investigators envision this research leading to new insights for gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia and chronic idiopathic nausea that would inform clinical management of these debilitating diseases.
