Gastroparesis Registry 4 Studying Symptoms and Differences in Gastroparesis and Functional Dyspepsia in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying patients with symptoms of gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia, conditions that affect stomach emptying and cause digestive discomfort. This observational study aims to understand the clinical, physiological, and psychological differences and similarities between patients with delayed or normal gastric emptying. The study will focus on symptom severity changes over 48 weeks using a specific patient questionnaire. Participants will be grouped based on their gastroparesis symptoms with or without delayed gastric emptying. The study involves completing questionnaires, a nutrient drink test, and undergoing a gastric emptying study to assess stomach function. These evaluations will be done at the beginning and followed up to 48 weeks to monitor symptom and physiological changes. During the study, participants will provide demographic, clinical, and patient outcome data. They will complete several questionnaires and tests, including gastric emptying scintigraphy and symptom assessments at baseline and after 48 weeks. Researchers will monitor symptom severity changes and gastric emptying measures to better characterize the clinical course of these digestive disorders over time.
