Testing blended tube feeds on kids’ stomach function
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares how “blended” tube feeds affect stomach and upper digestive function in children who use a feeding tube. It may help doctors understand whether blended feeds change digestion in ways that matter for comfort and physiology.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- You can take bolus (scheduled) stomach feeds that last more than 30 minutes

This trial compares two ways of giving liquid food through a tube into the stomach for people in the intensive care unit. It looks at whether continuous feeding is better than intermittent feeding in terms of how much food remains in the stomach, which can affect digestion and safety.
This study looks at whether giving tube feeding formula in a diluted or undiluted form is better for people who are in the intensive care unit (ICU) after major abdominal surgery. The goal is to find out which method is more effective and helps recovery.
This trial tests if certain foods can lower bile acid levels in the upper part of the stomach for children who get most nutrition through a feeding tube. It may help understand and manage reflux symptoms related to bile.
This trial studies whether changing how thick your tube-feeding formula is can improve stomach symptoms like nausea, bloating, feeling full too soon, and early fullness. It may help people who mostly receive nutrition through a feeding tube and have moderate upper-GI symptoms.
This study tests if a blended tube-feeding formula made from real food is easy to tolerate and acceptable for people who already use a gastrostomy tube. It may be a good option if you or your child need extra nutrition through a tube.
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.
