Gastric volumetry for the assessment of fundic compliance and visceral hypersensitivity in patients with gastroparesis: a retrospective comparative study

CONCLUSION: This pilot study suggests that GP could be associated with a reduced gastric volume compared to GERD in RLD after gaseous distension. In contrast, patient self-assessment of pain related to gastric distension was greater int GP patients. A lack of fundus accommodation and visceral hypersensitivity could explain some mechanisms in the genesis of GP symptoms.PMID:37975245 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2279928
