Is a pricier feeding tube worth the cost? a small study tried to find out

NCT ID NCT04030871

Summary

This small, terminated study aimed to compare two types of feeding tubes placed in the stomach. It wanted to see if a newer, more expensive tube lasted longer and was more cost-effective than the standard, cheaper tube. The study planned to enroll adults who needed long-term tube feeding for over a year. It was a pilot study to gather initial data on costs and how long each tube type worked before needing replacement.
