• Conditions: Dysphagia

• Registration Number: NCT06637098
• Lead Sponsor: Babujinaya Cela

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences in quality of life and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients With Dysphagia and Bulbar Palsy using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Gastrostomy. Patients will be randomly divided into an oral tube group and a Gastrostomy group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the oral tube group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the Gastrostomy group will use Gastrostomy. Researchers will compare changes in quality of life and nutritional status of two groups of patients before and after the study to see if Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube can improve the quality of life and nutritional status between ischemic stroke patients compared Gastrostomy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Body weight	day 1 and day 15	Body weight measurement of the infants was conducted by the same nurse according to the relevant standards.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dysphagia Handicap Index	day 1 and day 15	The Dysphagia Handicap Index is a 25-item scale to evaluate swallowing-related quality of life. The scale scores range between 0 to 100 and a higher score indicate better quality of life
