Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the Enterra® Therapy System can decrease nausea and vomiting symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients with chronic nausea, with or without vomiting, that have normal gastric emptying.

Study Arms (2)
ON Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants assigned to the ON treatment group will begin with specified device programming values at the randomization visit. Device programming values may be adjusted at follow-up study visits during the blinding period. At the conclusion of the 4-month visit, participants will have their devices programmed to individualized therapy as determined by the Investigator. Investigators may adjust programming values at additional follow-up study visits.
OFF Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants assigned to the OFF treatment group will begin with device programming values set to off at the randomization visit. These settings will continue until the 4-month visit. At the conclusion of the 4-month visit, participants will receive specified device programming values. Device programming values may be adjusted at follow-up study visits. At the conclusion of the 8-month visit, participants will have their devices programmed to individualized therapy as determined by the Investigator.
Interventions
The Enterra Therapy System is a gastric electrical stimulator system consisting of an implantable pulse generator (Enterra II Model 37800 neurostimulator); two implantable unipolar leads (Enterra Model 4351-35 intramuscular); and device programmer (N'Vision Clinician Programmer Model 8840 with Model 8870 Application Card). The programmable neurostimulator operates on a sealed battery and electronic circuitry to provide controlled electrical pulse stimulation through the implanted lead system. A clinician programmer is used to program the neurostimulator and adjust stimulation settings to programmable parameters and stimulation options.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Willing and able to complete the informed consent process
- Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
- Aged ≥18 years at time of informed consent
- Chronic, drug-refractory nausea that: a) has been present for more than 6 months, and b) has been active within the last 3 months prior to consent
- Patient is able to complete ANMS GCSI-DD surveys on a compatible smart device with: a) a minimum of four (4) ANMS GCSI-DD entries per week for two consecutive weeks, and b) an average ANMS GCSI-DD score for nausea severity of ≥2.5 during the same two-week period
- Refractory or intolerant to two or more of the following antiemetic drug classes: antihistamines, phenothiazines, serotonin type 3 receptor antagonists, dopamine type 2 receptor antagonists, anticholinergics, neurokinin receptor antagonists
- Medically stable, in the opinion of the investigator, during the month prior to consent, with no planned modifications to medical therapy during the course of the study
- Normal gastric emptying as assessed by a qualifying gastric emptying test performed within 2 years of consent if no prior pyloric transection therapy, or within 2 years of consent and after the most recent pyloric transection therapy
- Normal upper endoscopy within 1 year prior to consent (e.g., absence of obstructions, ulcers, or cancers in the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum) performed within 1 year of consent if no prior pyloric transection therapy, or within 1 year of consent and after the most recent pyloric transection therapy
You may not qualify if:
- Cognitive impairment or other characteristic that would limit a patient's ability to complete study requirements
- Pyloric transection therapy completed within 1 year of consent
- Documented gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction or pseudo-obstruction
- History of primary swallowing disorders
- History of primary psychogenic vomiting
- History of primary eating disorder
- History of cyclic vomiting syndrome
- History of rumination syndrome
- History of scleroderma
- History of amyloidosis
- History of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome
- Active H. pylori infection
- Evidence of bezoar during most recent endoscopy
- Previous gastric surgery of any type other than a pyloric transection therapy (i.e., pyloroplasty, pyloromyotomy, POP, or G-POEM)
- Uncontrolled thyroid disorder, in the opinion of the investigator
