New feeding tube technique may speed recovery after brain bleeding

NCT ID NCT06255353

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

Summary

This study looked at 118 patients with brain bleeding who needed a breathing tube in their windpipe. Researchers compared two ways of giving liquid nutrition: a standard tube through the nose into the stomach, and a newer tube through the mouth into the esophagus. The goal was to see which method helped patients get better nutrition, remove the breathing tube sooner, and have fewer lung infections. The trial is already completed, and results will show if the mouth-based feeding method is safer and more effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding (a feeding tube inserted through the mouth into the esophagus)

What this could lead to

If this feeding method works better, it could help patients with brain bleeding recover faster, breathe on their own sooner, and have fewer lung infections.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed trial with only 118 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The feeding method requires careful insertion and may not be suitable for everyone.
