NCT ID NCT07570537
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called TubeClear that uses a small stem and vibration to break up clogs in feeding tubes. It will include 20 children under 18 who have a clogged feeding tube. The main goal is to see how children react to the noise and vibration, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TubeClear device (mechanical clearing stem and control box)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a quick, safe way to unclog feeding tubes at the bedside without chemicals or X-rays.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 children) focused on comfort and noise, not yet on effectiveness. The device may not work for all tube types or blockages.
