First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study interviews 15 parents of young children who have tried to stop using feeding tubes at home. Researchers want to compare the experience of families who used standard care versus those who used a special app (CHAMP App) to help with weaning. The goal is to understand what works best for families and how to improve communication and reduce stress.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help improve how doctors support families during tube weaning at home, potentially making the process less stressful.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage interview study with only 15 families. It does not test a treatment, so it may not lead to any direct changes in care.
