Determination of the Characteristics of Isometric Gastric Motility Measurement in Healthy Volunteers (ANTERO-AC-2)

February 20, 2018 updated by: Prof Dr Jan Tack

ANTERO-AC-2: Determination of the Characteristics of Isometric Gastric Motility Measurement in Healthy Volunteers

There is a clear need for a novel method that can readily assess gastric motility in daily clinical practice. Isometric determination of the stomach motility would avoid the use of a large flaccid balloon while still being affordable. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal balloon characteristics that enable to measure motility-induced pressure changes in healthy volunteers.
