Gastroparesis
Plain English clinical trial information, updated daily from ClinicalTrials.gov and public government registries. Not medical advice.
How these figures are counted
- Trials on record is every trial tagged to this condition at any stage, except those withdrawn before starting or terminated early. Most are completed rather than ongoing, so this is a measure of research history, not of current activity. It is also smaller than the sitewide "trials tracked" figure, which does include withdrawn and terminated trials.
- Recruiting now counts only trials whose registry status is "Recruiting". Trials listed as not yet recruiting or enrolling by invitation are excluded, so this understates how many may open to new participants soon.
- Australian sites counts trials counted under "Recruiting now" that list at least one Australian site. A site being listed does not mean it is currently enrolling, and Australian trials registered only on ANZCTR are not counted yet, so this understates local availability.
- Phase 3 trials counts trials counted under "Recruiting now" that are at Phase 3.

Understanding Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach takes much longer than normal to empty its contents into the small intestine. In a healthy digestive system, the stomach muscles contract to push food through, but in gastroparesis these muscles do not work properly. This can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, feeling full very quickly after eating, bloating, and discomfort in the upper abdomen. The condition is chronic, meaning it tends to be ongoing rather than something that resolves quickly, and the severity of symptoms can vary a lot from person to person.
In Australia, gastroparesis affects people of all ages, though it is more commonly diagnosed in women than men. It can develop as a complication of diabetes, where high blood sugar levels over time can damage the nerves that control stomach muscles. It can also follow a viral illness, occur after certain surgeries, or arise with no identifiable cause at all, which is known as idiopathic gastroparesis. Many Australians living with the condition find that symptoms can significantly affect daily life, including eating, work, and social activities.
Management of gastroparesis generally focuses on easing symptoms and helping the body get enough nutrition. This often involves changes to diet, such as eating smaller, more frequent meals and choosing foods that are easier for the stomach to process. Medications may be used to help with nausea or to encourage stomach emptying. In more complex cases, other medical approaches may be considered. Care is usually coordinated by a gastroenterologist, often working alongside dietitians and other health professionals. If you have questions about your specific situation, your treating team is the best place to start.
