About This Trial
Gastroparesis is a burdensome condition that is caused by abnormal motor function of the stomach that results in delayed gastric emptying. It typically manifests with bloating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and even excessive weight loss and dehydration. The most common causes of gastroparesis are idiopathic, diabetic, medication-induced or iatrogenic (postsurgical) gastroparesis.
