About

Palliation to stroke-related dysphagia continues to be a challenge. Although nasogastric tube feeding (NGT) has been adopted widely, the weaknesses have yet to be improved by another enteral nutrition support mode.

This study aims to observe the clinical efficacy of intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding (IOE) in the treatment of stroke-related dysphagia on sleep quality. This is a prospective study with patients with dysphagia after stroke. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into 2 groups. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received IOE while the control group received NGT for enteral nutrition support.

Their sleep quality are compared at baseline and after study.

140 participants in 2 patient groups

Intermittent Oral-esophageal Tube Feeding+comprehensive rehabilitation therapy

Experimental group

Description:

During the 15-day treatment, both groups of patients are hospitalized, while conventional care and enteral nutrition support are provided to the two groups. Specifically, conventional care includes health education, dietary adjustments, nasopharyngeal hygiene, management of risk factors (blood pressure and lipid control, etc.), exercise rehabilitation, and psychological support. The frequency and content of these interventions are arranged based on the patients; health condition. The observation group receives Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding for enteral nutrition support

Treatment:

Behavioral: Intermittent Oral-esophageal Tube Feeding

Behavioral: comprehensive rehabilitation therapy
