Assessing gastric functions in patients with diabetes

Official title: Detailed Assessment of Gastric Functions in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Run by Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine · NCT06068114 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at how diabetes affects stomach function in people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes to see if there are any problems and how these issues relate to their overall health.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes for at least three years, who have been on specific treatment for a minimum of two years.

Probably not a fit

Patients with Type 2 diabetes managed solely through diet or those with severe complications may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the pathophysiology of gastric functions in patients with diabetes mellitus, including both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The researchers will utilize various measurement devices to evaluate gastric functions and identify any malfunctions. After an initial assessment, follow-up measurements will be conducted after one year to observe changes and their correlation with the patients' overall health. The study specifically aims to explore the relationship between gastric function and conditions such as functional dyspepsia and gastroparesis in diabetic patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of gastric complications in diabetes, leading to improved management strategies for affected patients.

How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have explored gastric function in diabetes, this specific approach focusing on comprehensive pathophysiological assessment is relatively novel.
