Gastric Motor Function Measurement in Dyspepsia and Normal Subjects

May 20, 2011 updated by: Mayo Clinic

Simultaneous Gastric Motor Function Measurement in Dyspepsia And Normal Subjects Ingesting a Solid-Liquid Meal

This study is being done to measure the functions of the stomach after eating a meal and to develop a new method that will simultaneously measure both gastric emptying and the relaxation of the stomach after a meal using nuclear medicine testing. This would make the testing more convenient for patients and will also offer better understanding of these two gastric functions.
