Summary

This completed trial looked at how two different feeding tubes affect the mental health of 156 stroke patients with swallowing problems. One group used a standard nasogastric tube, the other an intermittent oro-esophageal tube. Researchers measured anxiety, depression, and feelings of social isolation to see if the feeding method made a difference.
