Desale Yacob's research focuses on pediatric gastrointestinal motility disorders, including constipation, fecal incontinence, gastroparesis, rumination syndrome, and cyclic vomiting syndrome in children. Work spans clinical trials and outcome studies of treatments such as antegrade continence enemas, sacral and tibial nerve stimulation, gastric electrical stimulation, and medications like baclofen and aprepitant. Much of this research aims to characterize disease impact and evaluate treatment effectiveness in pediatric neurogastroenterology clinics.
Publication output has grown over the past decade, rising from about 5 papers per year in 2017-2018 to over 20 in 2024, with continued high activity through 2025.
