About

This was a prospective multicenter study. the patients after stroke with were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. All patients were given comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. During the treatment, enteral nutrition support was provided for the two groups by Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding and nasogastric tube feeding, respectively. Nutritional status, dysphagia, quality of life and depression before and after treatment were compared.

Full description

Dysphagia in patients after stroke continues to be a challenge. To avoid the wound caused by gastrostomy, nasogastric tube feeding has been the mainstay of palliation, but potential side effects exist this choice. Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding is an established modality that can be used with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. This study reports the outcomes of Intermittent Oro-esophageal tube feeding and comparison with nasogastric tube feeding, including nutritional status, dysphagia, quality of life, depression, and follow-up in patients receiving comprehensive rehabilitation therapy.This was a prospective multicenter study. the patients after stroke with were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group.
