Recruiting studies
- NCT06635915Recruiting
Ultrasound to check nasogastric tube position
This study tests whether ultrasound can help doctors check if a nasogastric tube (a thin tube placed through the nose into the stomach) is in the right position. It may help avoid the need for X-rays.
Palmas de GRAN Canaria, LAS, Las PalmasAges 18 years+ - NCT06648759Recruiting
Vagal stimulator to reduce need for nasogastric tube
This trial tests if a device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help patients avoid needing a nasogastric tube after major abdominal surgery, specifically if they develop a slowdown in bowel function called postoperative ileus.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05817864Recruiting
Testing a breathing-monitor method to check stomach tube placement
This study checks whether capnography (a device that measures breathing gases) can quickly and accurately confirm that a nasogastric tube is in the stomach. It may help reduce the risk of placing the tube in the wrong spot while you need feeding, fluids, or medicines.
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SARAges 18 years+ - NCT07574515Recruiting
Nasogastric Tube for Small Bowel Blockages
This trial tests whether placing a thin feeding tube through the nose into the stomach helps reduce complications in patients with small bowel obstruction (a blockage in the small intestines). Researchers want to see if this tube improves outcomes and reduces symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT06347120Recruiting
Nasogastric tube for bowel obstruction
This trial compares the effectiveness of placing a nasogastric tube versus not placing one for treating small bowel obstructions caused by adhesions. It aims to see if the tube is really needed for patients who do not have complications.
AmiensAges 18–85 - NCT06494267Recruiting
Video Self-Assessment for Learning Nasogastric Tube Insertion
This study tests whether watching a video and then practicing on your own helps first-year nursing students learn how to insert a nasogastric tube. You would be part of a group that uses this self-assessment method to see if it improves your skills.
ErzurumAges 18–30 - NCT07362537Recruiting
Feeding while on stomach for severe lung failure
This study tests if giving nutrition through a feeding tube is safe and effective for patients with severe lung failure who need to lie on their stomach to help breathing. It may help doctors understand how to best feed patients during this treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT07293663Recruiting
Studying ways to teach NG tube insertion to nursing students
This trial compares three ways of teaching nursing students how to insert a nasogastric (NG) tube, a thin tube placed through the nose into the stomach. The goal is to see which teaching method works best for students who have never done this before.
TurkuAges 18 years+ - NCT06422793Recruiting
Does a stomach tube reduce nausea after jaw surgery?
This study tests whether using a thin tube through the nose into the stomach during jaw surgery helps reduce nausea and vomiting after the operation. It's for people having certain types of jaw surgery to correct bite or facial problems.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 16 years+ - NCT07280611Recruiting
Breathing reflex study in double lung transplant patients
This study looks at a natural breathing reflex (the Hering-Breuer reflex) in people who have had a double lung transplant and are on a ventilator in the ICU. It compares them with other ICU patients who are on a ventilator after non-chest surgery, to see how the reflex works after a lung transplant.
Milan, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07321470Recruiting
Nasogastric tube care after pancreas surgery
This trial compares two ways of managing nasogastric tubes after pancreas and bile duct surgery. One group gets a tube for a while, the other avoids one. It tests if skipping the tube helps recovery.
Taipei, Zhongzheng DistrictAges 20–75 - NCT06877897Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound vs speech therapist for NG tube removal decision
This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound of the neck (called submental ultrasound) can help doctors decide when it's safe to remove a nasogastric (NG) tube, compared to a speech therapist's evaluation. If you have an NG tube that was placed due to a recent illness and are now recovering, this trial may help find a more reliable way to know when you can safely eat by mouth again.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nasogastric tube?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting nasogastric tube studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a nasogastric tube trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a nasogastric tube trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
