Tube feeding method for swallowing recovery after stroke
Part of Digestive system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with swallowing problems using a special X-ray test called a videofluoroscopic swallowing study.
- You are awake and alert, and your vital signs are stable.
- You do not have other conditions that could cause swallowing problems (like head or neck tumors, brain injury, or myasthenia gravis).

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 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 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.
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.
