Test of a constant-pressure skin disk for feeding tubes
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a small constant-pressure skin device (a “skin disk”) is safe and practical when placed in people getting PEG or PEJ feeding tubes. If you qualify, it may help improve comfort and care around the tube site.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 22 years or older
- Be scheduled to get a PEG or PEJ feeding tube
- No tobacco or illegal drug use in the past year
- No history of having an enteral (feeding) tube before

This study tests a new way to place a feeding tube directly into the stomach using ultrasound instead of an endoscope. It may be a safer and less invasive option for children who need help getting nutrition.
This trial tests whether starting tube feeds soon after a PEG tube is placed is safe and helpful for mechanically ventilated ICU patients. PEG is a feeding tube placed through the belly, and early feeding may support recovery if your stomach can handle it.
This trial studies how much pain people feel after a radiology-guided feeding tube is placed through the skin while you’re awake with local numbing medicine. It also looks at factors that might help predict pain, to improve comfort for future patients.
This study tests if ultrasound can quickly and safely check the position of a G-tube (feeding tube) that has moved or come out. It looks for a possible alternative to X-rays for children.
This study tests a device called TubeClear that helps clear blocked or slow feeding tubes in children. If your child has a feeding tube that isn't working well, this trial may help restore proper feeding.
This study looks at whether the placement of a feeding tube (PEG) farther from the stomach's exit (pylorus) affects recovery after the procedure. It may help patients who need long-term tube feeding.
