What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether stroke patients with bulbar palsy—a condition that makes swallowing difficult—are less likely to develop pneumonia if they receive nutrition through a nasogastric tube or through an IV (total parenteral nutrition). The study will compare the incidence of pneumonia between the two feeding methods over the first 14 days after stroke. It also tracks the need for mechanical ventilation, mortality, and catheter-related infections. The goal is to find a safer way to feed these patients while they recover.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube vs. total parenteral nutrition
What this could lead to
If one feeding method proves safer, it could reduce pneumonia risk and improve recovery for stroke patients with swallowing difficulties.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial, so results may not apply broadly. Both feeding methods carry risks, including infection or aspiration.
