2023 update on the clinical management of gastroparesis

Identification of the dominant symptoms (fullness, nausea, abdominal pain, and heartburn) helps to direct management efforts of the patients. Treatments for refractory (treatment resistant) symptoms may include gastric electric stimulation and intra-pyloric interventions like botulinum toxin and endoscopic pyloromyotomy. Understanding the pathophysiology of gastroparesis, relating pathophysiologic abnormalities to specific symptoms, new efficacious pharmacotherapies, and better understanding of the clinical predictors of response of therapies, are priorities for future research in the field of gastroparesis.
