Ultrasound vs. speech therapists: Who's better at removing feeding tubes?
NCT ID NCT06877897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods for deciding when to remove a nasogastric (feeding) tube in adults recovering from swallowing problems. One method uses an ultrasound to measure throat movement, while the other relies on a speech-language pathologist's clinical exam. Researchers will see which approach leads to more successful tube removal and fewer complications like choking or pneumonia.
