About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial To Explore the Effect of Oral vs. Nasal Enteral Nutrition Tube Feeding on Stroke Survivors in Social Interaction and Psychological Status

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore Clinical Effect of Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding improve psychological status in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors? Can Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding improve social interaction in Dysphagic Stroke Survivors? Patients will be randomly allocated into the control group or the experimental group, all under rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group will be given Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding as nutrition support and the control group will be given Nasogastric tube. The study lasts 15 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the Social Functioning Scale, Social Support Questionnaire, Patients Health Questionnaire-9, General Anxiety Disorder-7 to see if the Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding can help improve the symptom.

What participants receive

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

  • Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube FeedingDevice

    The specific procedure was as follows: the infant was placed in a semi-recumbent or sitting position with the head fixed. Before each feeding, the infant's oral and nasal secretions were to be cleared. An intermittent oro-esophageal tube was appropriately lubricated with water on the head part. The professional medical staff held the tube and slowly inserted it through one side of the mouth into the upper part of the esophagus. The depth of insertion depended on the patient's age and height. After each feeding, the tube was immediately removed, and the patient was held upright for at least 30 minutes in case of reflux.

  • Nasogastric Tube FeedingDevice

    Nasogastric Tube Feeding were used for feeding to provide nutritional support. Each feeding was administered by a nurse using the infant's mother's breast milk through the tube. The amount of each feeding varied from 20 to 100 ml depending on the age of the infant, with feedings given every 2 to 3 hours, approximately 10 times per day. The duration of each feeding procedure ranged from 10 to 20 minutes. The total daily intake ranged from 200 to 1000 ml. Each tube was kept indwelling for 5 to 7 days. When the tube needed to be replaced, it was removed after the last feeding of a day and a new tube was to be inserted through the other nostril on the following morning to continue the nutritional support.

  • comprehensive rehabilitation therapyBehavioural

    Both groups were given comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. The main intervention measures included: 1) non-invasive ventilator treatment, generally at least once every night and typically not exceeding continuous daily usage.; 2) attention to feeding and sleeping positions, with a recommended sleeping position of lateral recumbent and the head of the bed raised by 20-30°; 3) swallowing function training, such as tongue muscle stretching training, assisted anterior jaw protrusion training, lemon ice stimulation to the soft palate, pharyngeal wall, etc., generally 5 days per week, twice per day, 5-20 minutes each time; 4) pulmonary ultrashort wave therapy, generally at least 2-3 times a week, and not more than once a day; 5) physical therapy, such as intensive training for gross motor functions including lifting the head, turning over, sitting, crawling, standing, etc., generally 3-5 days per week, 1-2 times per day, 5-20 min each time.

What is being measured

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

  1. Social Functioning Scale

    The Social Functioning Scale includes multiple subscales, and the score range is generally 0-100. Higher scores indicate better social functioning, while lower scores indicate limited social functioning or problems.

    Measured: day 1 and day 15

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Social Support Questionnaire

    Social Support Questionnaire's score range is generally 0-100. Generally, higher scores are better and indicate more social support.

    Measured: day 1 and day 15

  2. Anxiety

    The anxiety was assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, including items related to fear, worry, attention, etc. The total score ranged from 0 to 21, which was positively correlated with potential anxiety.

    Measured: day 1 and day 15

  3. Depression

    The depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, with aspects including mood swings, optimism, sleep quality, appetite, etc. The total score ranged from 0 to 27, which was positively correlated with potential depression.

    Measured: day 1 and day 15

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

Contact Lavie Ce, Master (15333828388, zenghongjixx@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Social Functioning Scale (time frame: day 1 and day 15). 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.
