• Conditions: Ischemic Stroke
• Interventions: Device: Nasogastric Tube Feeding; Device: Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding; Behavioral: comprehensive rehabilitation therapy

• Registration Number: NCT06328894
• Lead Sponsor: Copka Sonpashan

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the differences on Psychological Condition and Experience in ischemic stroke patients using Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube and Nasogastric Tube. Patients will be randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, all receiving routine rehabilitation treatment. On this basis, the observation group will use Intermittent Oro esophageal Tube for enteral nutrition support, while the control group will use Nasogastric Tube. Researchers will compare Psychological Condition and Experience of two groups.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
comprehensive rehabilitation therapy+Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube Feeding	comprehensive rehabilitation therapy	Assigned randomly before the treatment, all patients were provided with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy as follows: Basic treatment, including corresponding control of risk factors and education on healthy lifestyles. Swallowing training, including lemon ice stimulation, mendelson maneuver, empty swallowing training, and pronunciation training. Pulmonary function training, including standing training, cough training, and diaphragm muscle training. 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

Pulmonary function training, including standing training, cough training, and diaphragm muscle training. Besides, the control group was given enteral nutritional support with Nasogastric Tube 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 cheek with medical tape. The feeding was conducted once every 3-4 hours, with 200-300ml each time. The total feeding volume was determined based on daily requirements.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7	day 1 and day 15	Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 is a widely used questionnaire to assess the severity of symptoms related to generalized anxiety disorder. The questionnaire consists of 7 questions, each with different answer options. The respondent needs to select the appropriate answer based on their actual condition and assign a corresponding score. The total score ranges from 0-21, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patient Health Questionnaire-9	day 1 and day 15	The total score of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating more severe depression symptoms.
Self-made questionnaire	day 1 and day 15	By conducting a self-made questionnaire, we can assess patients' feelings of fear, shame, uncertainty, and other emotions related to tube feeding. The scores are then converted to a percentage scale ranging from 0 to 100. In the Likert 5-point scale, higher scores indicate worse and more severe conditions for each question.
