Participant Flow

Diabetic gastroparetic patients who qualified to participate in this study based on inclusionary criteria were recruited from the Gastroenterology Motility Clinic of KUMC in Kansas City, KS

All subjects underwent an open-label phase where multi-channel gastric pacemaker (MGP-1) was turned "ON" for 6 weeks. After this phase they were randomized in double blind fashion to MGP-1 "ON" or "OFF" for another 4 weeks. 3 participants were not randomized to continue the study after the open-label phase.

Timeframe: 12 Weeks

The retention of a study meal was measured at baseline, 1,2,3 and 4 hours of the test. The percent of food retained in a stomach at 4 hours was compared when MGP-1 was ON and OFF.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Measure represents change in symptom severity as measured by a self assessment Symptom Interview Form evaluating severity of vomiting, nausea, early satiety, bloating, postprandial fullness, epigastric pain, and epigastric burning. Symptoms were rated from 0 - absence of symptom to 4 - extremely severe. The overall score was calculated from the sum of seven symptom sub-scores with a total possible score range of 0 - absence of all symptoms to 28 - all symptoms extremely severe.

Measure represents percentage change from baseline to end of study. QoL measured using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. The SF-36 is a generic measure of QoL. Physical QoL (Physical Component Summary; PCS) and emotional QoL (Mental Component summary; MCS) scale components of the survey used for outcome. Scores range from 0 to 100 with lower scores indicating more disability and higher scores less disability.
