Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical registry in patients with Gastric Electrical Stimulation (GES) therapy for gastroparesis to support future gastrointestinal therapies, medical procedures and diagnostics.

| To develop a clinical registry in patients with GES therapy | 3 years | The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical registry in patients with Gastric Electrical Stimulation (GES) therapy for gastroparesis to support future clinical and translational research. Gastroparesis is an illness caused by a delay of stomach emptying. Symptoms of gastroparesis include nausea, vomiting, weight loss, the feeling of being full right away when you start eating, and abdominal pain. The disease may also lead to malnutrition and weight loss. GES has shown promise in patients with gastroparesis. However, how the GES works is unclear, but the patients who undergo GES show improvement in their symptoms. |
