Read our Gastroparesis research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is an early-stage study testing a noninvasive treatment called focused ultrasound stimulation for people with gastroparesis—a condition where the stomach doesn't empty food properly. Researchers want to see if gentle ultrasound waves applied to the skin over your stomach can improve how your stomach moves and how you feel. The treatment is completely noninvasive, meaning nothing goes inside your body.
Gastroparesis can cause bloating, nausea, and difficulty eating, but current treatment options are limited. This study explores whether ultrasound stimulation might offer a new, safe way to help the stomach work better without medication or surgery.

You will attend two study visits at least 48 hours apart. At each visit, you'll fast for 6–8 hours, then small sticky sensors will be placed on your belly to measure stomach activity. You'll drink a nutritional drink, and then receive either active ultrasound stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment—you won't know which one. The entire process takes a few hours, and your stomach activity will be monitored before and after the treatment. The study uses a crossover design, meaning you'll experience both the real and sham treatments during your two visits.
