Its pathogenesis remains unkown, although autonomic parasympathetic neuropathy may have an important role. Conventional antiemetic therapy is often ineffective, and gastric surgery to promote drainage has failed to produce long-lasting relief. Metoclopramide, a compound structurally related to procainamide, which enhances gastric emptying, may be clinically useful in this condition (1, 2). We have quantified its effects on gastric motility and emptying of an ordinary, solid-liquid meal in a young diabetic patient with severe gastroparesis.A...References1.
