About This Gastroparesis Study in Austin

This randomized, sham-controlled crossover pilot study will evaluate whether noninvasive gastric focused ultrasound stimulation is associated with changes in postprandial gastric electrical activity and gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with gastroparesis or delayed gastric emptying. Participants will complete one active FUS visit and one sham-stimulation visit in randomized order, separated by at least 48 hours. At each visit, electrogastrography will be recorded before and after a standardized liquid nutritional drink, during active or sham stimulation, and during recovery. Gastrointestinal symptoms will be assessed at prespecified time points using the Total Symptom Score questionnaire.
