ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different methods of providing nutrition affect the rehabilitation of stroke patients. Specifically, it compares two types of feeding tubes: an Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and a Nasogastric Tube. By participating in this trial, patients will help researchers understand which method helps them stick to their rehabilitation therapy better.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old, have been diagnosed with stroke, and have difficulty swallowing, which is known as dysphagia. They should also be stable and able to cooperate with assessments. If enrolled, patients will receive regular rehabilitation treatment alongside their specific nutrition method for the duration of the study. This trial is currently not recruiting, but it aims to gather important information that could improve care for stroke patients in the future.
