Registry for Accurate Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders Including Gastroparesis, IBS, and GERD to Support Future Research

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to create a patient registry with accurate clinical diagnoses for gastrointestinal GI motility disorders. These disorders include a variety of common symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, weight loss, bloating after meals, constipation, and diarrhea. Accurate diagnosis by physicians specialized in GI motility is needed to improve treatment and promote future research. Patients seen in GI outpatient clinics, inpatient consults, and endoscopy centers will have their motility diagnoses confirmed based on clinical consensus criteria rather than billing codes. This observational study does not involve any intervention but collects detailed information to support research efforts. The study also aims to develop patient-reported outcome measurements for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth SIBO and gastroparesis. Participants contribute data over an average of 10 years, during which their accurate motility diagnoses are recorded and patient-reported outcomes are collected. This long-term registry will help doctors identify patients with specific GI motility conditions and support clinical research efforts at Indiana University. The study involves no active treatment but gathers valuable clinical and patient-reported information throughout the study period.
