In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Position change group for Stomach Diseases. Completed, enrolled 83 participants across 1 site.

Interventions
Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the position change group will be instructed to repeatedly change the body position according to a pre-specified protocol for a period of 15 min: in the order of supine to the left lateral position to prone, left lateral, supine, right lateral, and repeat last four positions twice, each for 1 min; finally supine for 1 min.
