Sleep quality with different feeding tubes after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests whether the type of feeding tube used affects sleep quality in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. If you have had a recent stroke and cannot swallow safely, this trial may help find a feeding method that lets you rest better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You had a recent stroke (ischemic type) that caused swallowing problems.
- Swallowing problems confirmed with a special x-ray test.
- You are alert and have stable vital signs.
- You have not had a stroke before this one.
- You do not have other conditions that affect swallowing (like head/neck tumors, brain injury, or myasthenia gravis).

This study compares two ways of feeding people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke: a feeding tube placed directly into the stomach (gastrostomy) versus intermittent oral tube feeding. The goal is to improve nutrition and recovery.
This study tests whether a special feeding tube placed through the mouth into the esophagus helps people who had a stroke and have trouble swallowing. It may improve their ability to swallow safely.
This study compares two ways of giving food through a tube in people who have recently had a stroke and have trouble swallowing. It looks at whether feeding through the mouth into the stomach (oro-esophageal) is safer for swallowing and airway protection than the usual method through the nose (nasogastric).
This study tests whether specialized nutrition therapy can help patients who have trouble swallowing after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to improve recovery and quality of life for people who need a feeding tube after leaving the hospital.
This study looks at whether using a capped breathing tube for about 48 hours is safe and whether it fits with swallowing training after head and neck surgery. It may help people transition more safely from a breathing tube back toward normal swallowing and breathing.
This trial studies whether a specific oral training program can improve swallowing after a stroke. It’s mainly for people whose swallowing trouble has lasted for several weeks after their stroke.
