Official title: Pain Assessment Following Placement of a Percutaneous Radiologic Gastrostomy and Predictive Factors
Run by Centre Hospitalier de Valence · NCT05618392 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how much abdominal pain people have after getting a feeding tube placed and what factors might affect their pain over the next year.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who require a radiologic gastrostomy and can communicate in French.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serious psychiatric conditions or those under guardianship may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the abdominal pain experienced by patients following the placement of a percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) over a 12-month period. It will evaluate the severity and prevalence of pain as well as identify predictive factors that may influence pain outcomes. The study will involve monitoring patients from baseline until seven days post-procedure to gather comprehensive data on their pain experiences. The findings could help improve patient management and care following PRG placement.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of pain management strategies for patients undergoing PRG placement.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited data on pain assessment specifically following PRG placement, similar studies on gastrostomy complications have shown varying degrees of success in understanding patient outcomes.
