Feasibility of a Wireless Patch System (WPS) to Measure Gastrointestinal Motility and Gastric Emptying

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to objectively measure gastric motility during a standardized test meal, and over the full course of the WPS test, identify patients with delayed gastric emptying as accurately as a scintigraphic gastric emptying scan.

This study will see if a new wireless patch system (WPS) will be able to objectively measure gastric, small intestine and colonic motility in patients with chronic nausea and vomiting and identify patterns that help distinguish common gastric sensorimotor disorders
