Abstract

This study provides evidence that brain fog is common in people living with gastroparesis. Contributing to the burden associated with the condition, gastroparesis adversely impacts experiences of fatigue, brain fog, psychological distress, and QoL, and informs the recommendation that these variables be screened for as part of gastroparesis management.
