First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study looks at children under 18 who have a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the windpipe). Researchers want to find out how common feeding difficulties are in these children and whether those difficulties are linked to their quality of life. The study will interview children and their parents using standard questionnaires. No new treatments are being tested.
