Hope for Tube-Fed kids: drug trial aims to help them eat normally
NCT ID NCT03815019
Summary
This study tested whether a short course of a medication called megestrol could help children who are dependent on feeding tubes learn to eat by mouth. About 70 children, aged 9 months to 9 years, received either the medication or a placebo alongside a 24-week behavioral feeding program. Researchers measured how many children could get most of their calories from food by mouth, checked for side effects, and looked at changes in child and parent quality of life.
