New study aims to reduce pneumonia risk in Tube-Fed kids

This study looks at whether problems with how the stomach and esophagus move increase the risk of aspiration (food or liquid going into the lungs) in children with brain-related disabilities. It compares two drugs, prucalopride and famotidine, to see which better reduces symptoms like coughing and improves quality of life. The study involves 120 children aged 5 to 21 who get most of their nutrition through a feeding tube and are at high risk for aspiration pneumonia.
