This is a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trail that involved patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the clinical effect of Oral Tubes vs Nasogastric Tubes in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Compared to Nasogastric Tube Feeding, can the Oral esophageal Tube Feeding better improve the nutritional status and pulmonary infection

Participants will be divided into two groups randomly, with different nutritional support respectively.

What participants receive

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

  • Basic treatmentBehavioural

    including anti-infection therapy, blood pressure and blood glucose control

  • Oral Tube FeedingDevice

    Before each feeding, inside and outside of the tube was cleaned with water. During feeding, the patient should maintain a semi-reclining or sitting position with mouth opened, and the tube was inserted slowly and smoothly into the upper part of the esophagus by medical staffs while the appropriate depth of intubation was checked with the calibration markings on the tube wall. The distance from the incisors to the head part of the tube should be between 22-25 cm. However, the specific depth should be evaluated based on patients' feedback and adjusted accordingly. After insertion, the tail part of the tube should be put into a container full of water and the absence of continuous bubbles indicated a successful intubation. Then, the feeding was to be conducted three times per day with 50 ml per minute and 400-600ml for each feeding.

  • Nasogastric Tube FeedingDevice

    The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time. The total feeding volume was determined based on daily requirements. The feeding content was formulated by the nutritionists based on the patient\&#39;s condition and relevant guidelines to reach the energy demand as 20-25 kcal/kg/day and protein supplementation of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day for both two groups. For patients with limited tube feeding compliance, we made appropriate adjustments to ensure that they were not at risk of severe malnutrition as much as possible.

Study groups in NCT06505876
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oral Tube Feeding+Basic treatmentExperimentalThe patients were provided with 1) basic treatment including intracranial pressure reduction, anti-infection therapy, blood pressure and blood glucose control. For the observation group, the nasogastric tube was removed, and Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding was initiated for nutrition support within 4 hours after completing the admission assessment, following the standard Intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding procedure.
Receives: Behavioral: Basic treatment; Device: Oral Tube Feeding
Nasogastric Tube Feeding+Basic treatmentActive comparatorThe patients were provided with 1) basic treatment including intracranial pressure reduction, anti-infection therapy, blood pressure and blood glucose control. Patients in the control group were provided with nutrition support by the indwelling nasogastric tube. The entire feeding process strictly followed the standardized procedure for nasogastric feeding.
Receives: Behavioral: Basic treatment; Device: Nasogastric Tube Feeding

What is being measured

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

  1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test

    It is a simple questionnaire used to assess symptoms and quality of life in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The scale consists of 8 items covering the most common symptoms and impacts on quality of life in COPD patients, such as cough, sputum production, and breathlessness. Each item is graded on a scale of 0 to 5, where patients select the score that best reflects their experience. The total score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

    Measured: day 1 and day 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Basic treatment, Oral Tube Feeding and Nasogastric Tube Feeding in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (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.

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 17 Jul 2024.
