Brief Summary:
In this study we aim at evaluating the effect of electroacupuncture in diabetic patients with gastroparesis Patient-based symptom severity measure serum parameters and solid-phase gastric emptying time are measured to evaluate the effectiveness of electroacupuncture
Detailed Description:
Initially we will collect 30 patients with type 2 diabetes with a 3-month history of dyspeptic symptoms An upper GI endocopy will be obtained to rule out possibility of organic obstruction Cardiac arrhythmia and pregnancy will be excluded None of them ever received abdominal surgery Patients are then randomized to one of two treatment arms Arm I 15 patients received EA stimulation on acupoints St-36 Zusanli and Li-4 Hegu Arm II 15 subjected to EA stimulation on non-acupoints around St-36 and Li-4 with the same electrical pulse and amplitude Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index GCSI and solid-phase gastric emptying time will be measured on baseline and after EA In addition serum gastrin motilin human pancreatic polypeptide fasting blood sugar and postprandial glucose levels will be also monitored
