Nutrition tubes and sleep quality after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using a feeding tube affects sleep quality in people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It may help doctors find ways to improve both nutrition and rest.

This study tests whether a feeding tube placed directly into the stomach (gastrostomy) or used only for some meals helps people who have trouble swallowing after a stroke. It aims to see if these methods improve recovery.
This trial compares two types of feeding tubes to see which one helps protect your airway and improve swallowing after a stroke. It is for people who have had their first ischemic stroke within the past month and need help eating.
This study tests whether using a special tube placed from the mouth into the esophagus can improve swallowing in people who have had an ischemic stroke and need a feeding tube. If you have trouble swallowing after your stroke, this treatment might help you regain the ability to eat safely.
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 study tests a special nutrition program for patients who just had a breathing tube removed in the ICU. It aims to see if a safe swallowing check can help prevent problems and make feeding safer.
