NCT ID NCT07173504

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving tube feeding only during the day (intermittent) is better than feeding around the clock (continuous) for critically ill adults in the ICU. Researchers will measure blood sugar control, gut function, sleep quality, and muscle mass. About 124 participants will be assigned to one of the two feeding schedules for up to 5 days.
