Vagal Nerve Stimulation

for Gastroparesis

The purpose of this study is to find out if we can gain access to the vagus nerve which is largely an internal nerve that controls stomach function. We hope to gain access to the internal vagus nerve by electrically stimulating the nerve around the external ear. If we can do this then we hope that this will help our treatment of patients with nausea and vomiting and disordered stomach function
