Pyloric Sphincter Abnormalities in Patients With Gastroparesis Symptoms (NCT04661215)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The overall objective of this study is to determine if there are pyloric sphincter abnormalities in patients with gastroparesis symptoms and determine how prevalent these abnormalities are using tests to assess the pyloric sphincter - endoluminal functional luminal imaging probe (Endoflip™), water load satiety testing (WLST), and high-resolution cutaneous electrogastrography (HR-EGG) using Gastric Alimetry™ System.
