The Use of Body Surface Gastric Mapping in Assessing the Clinical Success of G-POEM
Indiana University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not the investigators can utilize Body Surface Gastric Mapping to determine who would best benefit to receive G-POEM procedure and how Body Surface Gastric Mapping can be utilized with patients who have gastroparesis symptoms. the investigators may also be able to find more ways how Body Surface Gastric Mapping testing can benefit patients with gastroparesis and/or G-POEM procedure.
Description
The aim of this protocol is to build on the investigators currently approved study to evaluate the outcomes and predictors of success of Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM). The investigators plan to incorporate BSGM in determining the treatment success after G-POEM in patients with refractory gastroparesis and potentially identify a phenotype of gastroparesis patients who may respond more favorably to G-POEM based on their baseline BSGM profile. The currently approved G-POEM study (IRB #1708840627 and ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT04434781) at our center tracks patients' symptoms and quali…

Inclusion Criteria: * • Patients clinically eligible for G-Poem at our center. Exclusion Criteria: * • Pregnant or breast-feeding * Patients with gastroparesis due to spinal cord injuries due to difficulties in conducting the BSGM. Of note, we rarely see gastroparesis in this context. * Inability to perform BSGM: history of severe skin allergies or sensitivity to cosmetics or lotions; chronically damaged or vulnerable epigastric skin (fragile skin, wounds, inflammation); patients unable to remain in a relaxed reclined position for the test duration. * Patients with abdominal drains o…
