Participant Flow

Patients seeking temporary gastric electric stimulator devices for drug-refractory gastroparesis between August 2005 and October 2006 who met the inclusion criteria and did not have any of the exclusion criteria were offered access to the research protocol.

No significant events or approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment were performed prior to group assignment.

Measure
Gastric Stimactivated Days1-4/Not Activated Days5-8
The sequence followed for patients in Group 1 was: enrollment and acquisition of baseline data, then placement of electrode, then determination of mucosal Electrogastrogram, then randomization to Group 1, then active stimulation for 72 consecutive hours, then a 1 day wash out, then the cross over, which entailed the device remaining inactive for the final 3 study days
Gastric StimulationNotActivated Days1-4/Activated Days5-8
The sequence followed for patients in Group 2 was: enrollment and acquisition of baseline data, then placement of electrode, then determination of mucosal EGG, then randomization to Group 2, then no stimulation whatsoever until Day 5, then the cross over,then active stimulation with the Gastric Electrical Stimulator for 72 consecutive hours.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Study Day 0 (Baseline), Day 4, Day 8

Transit time of a radio-labeled meal through the stomach, measured by scintigraphy for %contents remaining in the stomach at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours. GET measures were obtained at baseline, during the period allowed for 'washout', and on the final study day.
