New feeding strategy may cut pneumonia risk in severe stroke patients

NCT ID NCT07630090

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two ways of feeding patients with severe ischemic stroke who have trouble swallowing. The goal is to see if feeding through a tube placed past the stomach (post-pyloric) reduces the chance of developing pneumonia compared to standard stomach feeding. About 174 adults will take part, and researchers will track pneumonia cases within the first week.
