Registry for Pediatric Gastroparesis
(PGpR2 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to create a national registry of young people with gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach doesn't empty properly, and those with similar symptoms but normal gastric emptying. Researchers seek to better understand these conditions by tracking symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain over time. Children, teens, and young adults who have experienced these symptoms for at least 12 weeks and have undergone a gastric emptying study in the past year may be eligible to participate. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to valuable research that could enhance understanding and treatment of gastroparesis in young people.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the GpCRC Pediatric Gastroparesis Registry 2 because it's focusing on better understanding gastroparesis in children, a condition where the stomach can't empty food properly. Unlike typical treatments that often involve dietary changes, medications like antiemetics, or even surgical interventions, this registry aims to gather comprehensive data on the condition itself. By analyzing this data, researchers hope to identify patterns and factors that could lead to more effective and tailored treatments in the future. This approach has the potential to revolutionize how gastroparesis is managed in young patients by paving the way for innovations beyond current options.
