Large-Scale Study of Oro-esophageal Feeding Versus Nasogastric Feeding for Swallowing Function and Airway Protection

The Effect of Oro-esophageal Versus Nasogastric Feeding for Stroke Patients With Dysphagia: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Large-Scale Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Mar 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a randomized controlled trial involving patients with ischemic stroke and dysphagia. The aim of this study is to explore the recovery speed and therapeutic effect of oro-esophageal feeding compared with nasogastric feeding on swallowing function. This study mainly addresses the following two research questions: 1. Whether oro-esophageal feeding improves swallowing function more rapidly and effectively than nasogastric tube feeding. 2. Whether oro-esophageal feeding is non-inferior to nasogastric tube feeding in terms of safety.
