New study aims to predict pain after feeding tube insertion

NCT ID NCT05618392

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

Summary

This study tracks pain levels in 50 adults who receive a feeding tube through the skin into the stomach using X-ray guidance. Researchers measure pain on a 0–10 scale and look for factors like stomach wall thickness or tube position that might predict higher pain. The goal is to better understand and manage discomfort after the procedure.
