About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of a Modified Method for Blind Bedside Placement of Post-pyloric Feeding Tube:a Randomized Controlled Trial

To compare efficacy and safety of a new modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization with Corpak 10-10-10 protocol and electromagnetic guided catheterization for treatment of patients with dysphagia and at high-risk of aspiration pneumonia. We conducted a single-center, single-blinded, and randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 63 patients were treated with the non-gravity type CORFLO gastrointestinal feeding tube between 2017.1 and 2019.1 using different procedures: in the M group, patients underwent modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside placement; in C group, patients underwent conventional Corpak protocol; in EM group, patients received standard electromagnetic guided tube placement.

Being tested
A modified method for blind bedside placement of post-pyloric feeding tube.
Medical subject headings
Deglutition Disorders

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • A modified method for blind bedside placement of post-pyloric feeding tube.Procedure or surgery

    Modified post-pyloric feeding tube bedside catheterization as an optimized bedside blind post-pyloric tube placement, significantly shortened the time for passing pylorus without causing any severe adverse reactions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The success rate of NIT placement

    The successful catheterization was defined when the catheter tip was placed behind the pylorus.

    Measured: 2019.10

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Operation time of tube insertion

    The time spent on the catheterization.

    Measured: 2019.10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nutritional Support, Catheterization, Post-pyloric Feeding Tube, Dysphagia, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The success rate of NIT placement (time frame: 2019.10). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2020.
