PEG feeding tube distance from pylorus and outcomes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the placement of a feeding tube (PEG) farther from the stomach's exit (pylorus) affects recovery after the procedure. It may help patients who need long-term tube feeding.

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 trial tests whether starting tube feeds soon after a PEG tube is placed is safe and helpful for mechanically ventilated ICU patients. PEG is a feeding tube placed through the belly, and early feeding may support recovery if your stomach can handle it.
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 whether briefly pausing tube feedings during certain procedures (like placing a tracheostomy or PEG tube) affects patient outcomes. The goal is to find out if it's safe to continue feeding without stopping, which might prevent delays in nutrition.
This study tests a training program designed for people caring for a patient who will receive a feeding tube (PEG). The program aims to help caregivers feel more prepared and confident. You may be able to join if you are an adult caring for an adult patient scheduled for PEG placement and can use a smartphone.
This study trains people who care for patients with feeding tubes (PEG tubes placed in the stomach). You'll learn how to feed your loved one safely and keep the tube clean and working well.
