Registration Number
NCT06312371
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare Feeding Hesitancy 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 Feeding Hesitancy of the two groups.

Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaireday 1 and day 15

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.
