AutoSTEA for Adults With Functional Dyspepsia
NCT07020416 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to assess how effective the AutoSTEA device is in treating functional dyspepsia (upper abdominal discomfort) in adults. It will also assess the safety and usability of the device. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the AutoSTEA device ease dyspepsia symptoms? * Is the AutoSTEA device safe and feasible for patients to use at their home? Participants will: * Use the device for half an hour every day for two weeks * Have a phone check-in halfway through the trial * Answer the daily and weekly questionnaires which consist of questions regarding symptoms, device usability, and adverse events experienced.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07020416
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07020416 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is MetroHealth Medical Center, which has 29 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Functional Dyspepsia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Transcutaneous electrical acustimulation in automatic synchronization with breathing is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07020416 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
