Article Synopsis
- Pharmacologic therapies for gastroparesis (GP) show limited effectiveness, making it hard to predict patient responses to treatments.
- The study developed a machine learning model to assess the likelihood of patients with GP-like symptoms benefiting from prokinetics and/or neuromodulators based on various health metrics.
- Results indicated that the model could accurately predict responses, especially among patients only taking prokinetics, offering a potential tool for improving treatment strategies if validated in future research.
Background & Aims: Prokinetics have limited effectiveness for treating symptoms of gastroparesis. Thus, alternative or adjunct therapies, such as gastroparesis diets or neuromodulators, are often prescribed. Their therapeutic benefits alone or in combination remain unclear.

Colonic wake response is a relative increase in colonic motility upon awakening. Colonic manometry studies have demonstrated attenuated wake response in STC.

Postprandial motility is traditionally evaluated using small bowel manometry. Wireless motility capsule (WMC) is an ingestible wireless capsule that measures pH, temperature, and intraluminal pressure.
