This study investigates whether abnormalities in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the stomach and proximal jejunum can be used as biological markers. These markers may help predict the outcomes for patients who undergo surgical implantation of gastric electrical stimulation (GES) for severe gastroparesis. Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach cannot empty food properly, causing nausea and vomiting.
Participants in this study will undergo procedures related to the surgical implantation of gastric electrical stimulation (GES). The study will examine the presence of ICC abnormalities to determine their potential role as predictive markers for clinical outcomes.
- Who can participate: Eligibility criteria are to be determined.
- Study details: Participants will undergo surgical implantation of gastric electrical stimulation (GES). The study will focus on examining ICC abnormalities as potential biological markers.
