Predicting Outcomes of GPOEM Using Gastric Electrical Mapping (GPOEM-GEMS)

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves dividing the pylorus, to enhance gastric emptying in gastroparesis patients. This is a single-arm, multi-centre, prospective observational study to determine the clinical utility of Gastric Alimetry in predicting GPOEM treatment outcomes. The investigators further aim to develop a clinical decision rule to inform patient selection. Gastric Alimetry will be conducted <1 month prior to GPOEM. All subjects will then be followed up for 12 months.
