Web app may speed up caregiver training for tube feeding
NCT ID NCT07414563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a web application to standard training helps family caregivers learn nasogastric tube feeding more quickly. About 136 caregivers will either get standard training alone or standard training plus the web app. The goal is to see if the web app reduces the time and number of sessions needed to become competent.
