A Comparative Study of Two Tube Feeding Methods in Patients with Dysphagia After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Dysphagia is a common symptom seen in stroke patients, it not only affects patients' nutrition supply, but also causes aspiration pneumonia. To solve the problem of nutritional support for patients with dysphagia after stroke, nasogastric tubes are routinely indwelling to provide nutrition in China. However, this feeding method sometimes causes food reflux, aspiration, pneumonia, and often affects the patients ’ comfort and self-image acceptance. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine whether a new feeding method called intermittent oroesophageal (IOE) tube feeding compared with continuous nasogastric tu...

Malnutrition in Acute Stroke Patients Stratified by Stroke Severity- A Hospital Based Study.
CONCLUSION: Nutritional status was poor in stroke patients across all stroke severities within weeks. Further longitudinal outcome studies to identify the poor outcome and the evolution of nutritional status are warranted. PMID: 29468620 [PubMed - in process]

IJERPH, Vol. 16, Pages 2228: Effect of an Oral Health Programme on Oral Health, Oral Intake, and Nutrition in Patients with Stroke and Dysphagia in Taiwan: A Randomised Controlled Trial
ang Huang No previous studies have evaluated an oral health programme, before swallowing therapy, in patients with stroke and dysphagia in Taiwan. This randomised controlled trial evaluated the effect of an oral health programme (i.e., sputum assessment, Bass method-based tooth brushing, and tooth coating with fluoride toothpaste) before swallowing therapy. Sixty-six patients with stroke (23 female, 43 male) in our rehabilitation ward, who underwent nasogastric tube insertion, were assigned randomly to an oral care group (n = 33) and a control group (n = 33). Demographic data, oral health assessment, Functional Oral...

Management of Dysphagia in Patients with Parkinson's Disease and Related Disorders.
Authors: Umemoto G, Furuya H Abstract Various methods of rehabilitation for dysphagia have been suggested through the experience of treating stroke patients. Although most of these patients recover their swallowing function in a short period, dysphagia in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson-related disorder (PRD) degenerates with disease progression. Muscle rigidity and bradykinesia are recognized as causes of swallowing dysfunction, and it is difficult to easily apply the strategies for stroke to the rehabilitation of dysphagia in PD patients. Disease severity, weight loss, drooling, and dementia are important ...

Clinician's attitude to enteral nutrition with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: a survey in China
CONCLUSIONS: Doctors' insufficient knowledge of PEG feeding, resistance from patients and families, poor cooperation among departments, all these factors leading physicians to prefer more conservative treatment to avoid disputes rather than better ones.PMID:34565469 | DOI:10.1186/s41043-021-00264-9
