New study aims to predict pain after feeding tube insertion
NCT ID NCT05618392
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks pain levels in 50 adults who receive a feeding tube through the skin into the stomach using X-ray guidance. Researchers measure pain on a 0–10 scale and look for factors like stomach wall thickness or tube position that might predict higher pain. The goal is to better understand and manage discomfort after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors identify which patients are likely to have more pain after gastrostomy tube placement, allowing for better pain management.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test any treatment.
