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 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 looks at how the position of a feeding tube (PEG) inside the stomach affects recovery after the tube is placed. If the tube is placed closer to or farther from the stomach's lower opening, it may change how well you tolerate feedings and your overall recovery.
This study looks at how critically ill patients on a breathing tube and receiving nutrition through a tube tolerate their feeding, depending on the dose of medications given to manage their blood pressure. It aims to see if feeding works well while patients are on these medications.
This trial tests a new type of dressing (bandage) designed to keep a gastrostomy feeding tube secure after it is placed in the stomach. It may help reduce movement and improve healing for children who have just had this surgery.
