Study summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare Rehabilitation Therapy Compliance of ischemic stroke patients who receive enteral nutrition support through either Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube or Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly assigned to either an observation group or a control group, with both groups receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. The observation group will receive enteral nutrition support through Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube, while the control group will receive it through Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will then compare Rehabilitation Therapy Compliance of the two groups.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding

    The observation group was given enteral nutritional support with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube according to the following procedure. The feeding content was formulated by the nutritionists based on the condition and relevant guidelines to reach the energy demand as 20-25 kcal/kg/day and protein supplementation of 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day for both two groups

    Device: Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding

  • Active comparator
    Nasogastric Tube Feeding

    The control group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube Feeding according to the relevant guidelines. Within 4 hours after admission, the placement of the feeding tube was conducted by professional medical staffs and after intubation, the tube was secured to the patient's cheek with medical tape. The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time.

    Device: Nasogastric Tube Feeding

Interventions

  • DeviceIntermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding

    The observation group was given enteral nutritional support with Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube according to the following procedure: Before each feeding, inside and outside of the tube was cleaned with water. During feeding, the patient should maintain a semi-reclining or sitting position with mouth opened, and the tube was inserted slowly and smoothly into the upper part of the esophagus by medical staffs while the appropriate depth of intubation was checked with the calibration markings on the tube wall. The distance from the incisors to the head part of the tube should be between 22-25 cm.

  • DeviceNasogastric Tube Feeding

    The control group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube Feeding according to the relevant guidelines. Within 4 hours after admission, the placement of the feeding tube was conducted by professional medical staffs and after intubation, the tube was secured to the patient's cheek with medical tape. The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rehabilitation Treatment Compliance Questionnaire

    The Rehabilitation Treatment Compliance Questionnaire assesses patient compliance with rehabilitation treatment plans. It consists of 12 items that cover aspects such as the patient's understanding of the treatment plan, attitude towards treatment, compliance, and perception of rehabilitation outcomes. The scoring range for The Rehabilitation Treatment Compliance Questionnaire is typically from 12 to 60 points. A higher score indicates better understanding of the treatment plan, more positive attitude towards treatment, higher compliance with the treatment plan, and better perception of rehabilitation outcomes.

    Time frame: day 1 and day 15

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient Health Questionnaire-9

    The total score of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating more severe depression symptoms.

    Time frame: day 1 and day 15

  2. Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire

    Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire was used to evaluate the quality of life, which consists of 44 items and divided into 11 main domains, including: overall satisfaction, understanding, diet, hydration, communication, respiratory issues, postoperative recovery, social impact, mental health, saliva control, and appearance. The maximum rough score was 220 points, which was converted into a standard percentage system in our study. As the scores increased, the quality of life was better.

    Time frame: day 1 and day 15

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Mar 2024; primary completion for Dec 2024, 9 months later.

Of 3,108 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 9 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,252 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 25, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
