ClinConnect Summary

The GOLDEN trial is a study that looks at people with gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. This ongoing research, based at the University of Louisville, collects information from patients who have been experiencing symptoms of this condition since 2012. The goal is to understand how symptoms, quality of life, and overall health change over time, regardless of whether patients are receiving treatment or not. If treatments are given, the study will also compare how different groups of patients respond.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must have symptoms of gastroparesis that do not respond to medication, have issues with nutrition as assessed by a healthcare provider, and be able to report their current symptoms and other medical conditions. However, individuals with certain conditions, such as blockages in the digestive system, pregnant women, and those who cannot provide consent, will not be included. Participants can expect to share their experiences and health information regularly, helping researchers learn more about managing this challenging condition.
