Botox relaxes the pylorus so that food can empty the stomach more rapidly. This study compares this treatment to placebo saline injection.
After a 1 month period patients may elect to receive open label botox who have not received relief from their first injection. Patients symptoms and gastric emptying are followed for 1 year.

Drug: Botulinum toxin A Drug: Placebo. Not Applicable. Study Type :. I had a pacemaker put in in Oct and had problems with it. Tho no one wants to agree with me, I feel the surgery caused much of my trouble. They keep pushing me to take Reglan but I am afraid of that med and refuse to take it. I am glad to hear good reports because things have become pretty bad for me. I too have the same problem. I too did not qualify for the nero stimulator. Although I have been given the same news you all received.
I had the botox injections yesterday st the IU Hospital in Indianapolis. I found it to be a little painful, mostly a constant sense of belly pain. My GI told me that this is just an attempt to alleviate the problem of my gastroparesis. Only time will tell if it works. My GI used a balloon to test the rim of my esaphagus sphincter. He discovered a rough rigid opening and placed units of botox into that area. I have not had a good chance to see if that is going to help.
My GI was less than confident that it is going to be the cure. Next step is for him to cut the muscle that is affected by the vagas nerve damage to the esaphagus sphincter. This is all done through an endoscopy. What I found hard was the three days without solid food prior to the endoscopy.
Good luck to everyone. This is great news, kamg. I am just beginning this path and have a gastro-emptying test on Thursday. Seeing a neurologist today. Everything is point to Gastroparesis. I can eat a little but it comes and goes, and the nausea is tough. I have to resort to Zofran to get through some nights.
I am praying a lot and hope once there is a diagnosis there is a plan. The hospital I attend does the Botox, so I am hopeful if this is what it is I can respond to this and then maybe have the ability to look into a G-POEM that people have been saying has been a Godsend. My life shifted as if overnight… I am trying to work, but it's really a challenge. Have you gotten and relief? Create an account to connect with other patients and caregivers like you.

Patients with improved GCSI total score at 1 month had an improvement in most individual symptoms evaluated. Serum measures studied did not correlate with clinical outcomes. For those patients initially responding, the improvement can last out to 6 months. The biochemical markers did not serve to predict the outcome of injections.
