New dressing for feeding tube after placement
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child is having a gastrostomy feeding tube placed, or had it placed within the last five days.
- You or your child does not have a skin condition that would prevent using the dressing (the study team will check this).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a device called TubeClear that helps clear blocked or slow-feeding tubes in children. It may help avoid tube replacement and keep the tube working properly.
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 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 helps families learn how to care for a child's new feeding tube before leaving the hospital. It provides extra education and support to make the transition home safer and easier.
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.
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.
