NIH grant awarded to University of Louisville to study gastric dysrhythmia using a novel non-invasive diagnostic technique called Body Surface Gastric Mapping, aiming to improve understanding and diagnosis of gastric motility disorders.
Description
This project aims to translate and apply a new diagnostic tool called “Body Surface Gastric Mapping” (BSGM), which non-invasively assesses gastric electrical activity using flexible skin electrodes. The study will evaluate whether gastric dysrhythmias are a significant mechanism of gastric dysfunction, using innovative BSGM technology in large clinical studies involving 400 patients and 200 controls.
