New feeding tube method may help stroke survivors swallow again
NCT ID NCT07302594
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two ways to feed stroke patients who have trouble swallowing: a standard nasogastric tube (through the nose) and an oro-esophageal tube (through the mouth). The goal is to see which method better protects the airway and improves swallowing function. About 156 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two feeding methods, and their progress will be tracked using swallowing tests.
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
What this could lead to
If this works, it could point to a better way to feed stroke patients that helps them swallow again and lowers the risk of food going into the lungs.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial that hasn't started yet. The results may not apply to all stroke patients, and the new tube method might not be safer or more effective than the standard one.
