Overview
Brief Summary
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.

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Time Frame: day1 and day15
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a widely used questionnaire that assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a one-month period. It consists of 19 items that are grouped into seven components. Each component is scored from 0 to 3, with a total PSQI score ranging from 0 to 21. A higher score indicates worse sleep quality, while a lower score indicates better sleep quality. Generally, a total score of 5 or higher is considered indicative of poor sleep quality.
