Communication training versus usual care for feeding tube placement
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study compares a special communication approach to the usual method when placing a naso-gastric (feeding) tube in people receiving chemotherapy. It aims to see whether better communication can make tube placement easier and more tolerable.

This study looks at whether different placement locations for a stomach (gastric) tube can lower the risk of pneumonia in people on a breathing machine. It’s aimed at patients expected to need ventilation for more than 48 hours.
This trial is testing a new type of feeding tube that can be seen with ultrasound, so doctors can check its position without needing an X-ray. It may help make tube placement quicker and safer for people who already need this tube as part of their care.
This study tests a better way to place a thin tube from the nose to the stomach (nasogastric tube) in hospitalized children. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for kids who need it for feeding or medicine.
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.
This study compares two ways of placing a feeding tube through the belly into the stomach: with sedation (medicine to relax you) or without it. It aims to find which is safer and better for older adults with serious health conditions.
This study tests whether a web app helps caregivers learn nasogastric tube feeding (tube through the nose into the stomach). It compares standard training with training plus the web app, focusing on how well caregivers learn and feel confident.
