Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Magnetic Marker Monitoring is an appropriate opportunity to diagnose and to quantify a suspicious gastroparesis in subjects with diabetic polyneuropathy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Diabetes mellitus group

Subjects with Diabetes mellitus and symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis

Group Type OTHER

Magnetic Marker Imaging (MMI) with Magma 3D system

Intervention Type DEVICE

Magnetic Marker Imaging (MMI). It comprises of a high-resolution three-dimensional detector system, that detects passively and continuously the magnetic field of a magnetic marker capsule (1g, 6x12mm), which is taken orally by the subject. Changes in frequency, intensity and duration of oscillating marker movements allow us to delineate migrating gastric motor complexes. The Magnetic Marker Imaging takes up to 4 h in which the patient lies in a bed. Short interruptions (e.g. to visit the restroom) during this 4 h period are possible.

Control group

Healthy volunteers as matched pairs according to gender and age
