ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how two different methods of feeding can affect the nutritional intake of patients who have had an ischemic stroke, which is a type of stroke caused by a blockage in the blood supply to the brain. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive nutrition through an Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube, while the other group will use a Nasogastric Tube. Both groups will also receive standard rehabilitation treatment. The goal is to see if the method of feeding can improve the amount of food patients can take in and their overall nutritional health.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be over 18 years old and diagnosed with ischemic stroke, along with having difficulty swallowing confirmed by a specific test. They should also be alert and stable, without a history of prior strokes. People with certain health conditions, such as severe liver or kidney problems, or those who are pregnant or nursing, will not be included in the study. If you decide to participate, you can expect to receive either of the two feeding methods and be monitored for changes in your nutritional status throughout the trial. This study aims to find better ways to support nutrition for stroke recovery.
