NCT ID NCT07383272
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new education program for parents of children who just got a feeding tube (like a G-tube or NG-tube). The program teaches parents how to care for the tube, get supplies, and handle problems. Researchers want to see if this helps parents feel more confident and reduces unplanned trips to the ER or clinic. The study will compare families who get the extra education to those who receive usual care.

education program on feeding tube care
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a standard discharge protocol that helps parents feel more prepared and reduces emergency visits for children with feeding tubes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or families. The education program may not significantly change outcomes.
