简要总结
This is a prospective multicenter study with patients with delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for NPC. Patients enrolled are randomly divided equally into the observation group and the control group. All patients receive conventional care, and the observation group received IOE while the control group received NGT for enteral nutrition support. Baseline information (demographics, medical history, etc.), nutritional status at admission and after treatment, depression, dysphagia, and quality of life (QOL) after treatment as well as adverse events are compared.
详细描述
Palliation to delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) 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 delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for (NPC). This is a prospective multicenter study with patients with delayed dysphagia after radiotherapy for NPC.
