What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the psychological condition and experience of ischemic stroke patients receiving different feeding methods: Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube versus Nasogastric Tube. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an observation group, which will receive enteral nutrition support via the Oro-esophageal Tube, or a control group using the Nasogastric Tube, alongside routine rehabilitation treatment. The study will last for 15 days, during which researchers will assess and compare the psychological outcomes of both groups.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old diagnosed with ischemic stroke and confirmed dysphagia.
Not a fit: Patients with dysphagia caused by conditions other than ischemic stroke or those with severe comorbidities may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the psychological well-being of stroke patients through optimized feeding methods.
How similar studies have performed: While similar studies on feeding methods exist, this specific comparison of Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube in stroke patients is relatively novel.
