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.
This study lasts 15 days for each patient. 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.

| Intermittent Oral-esophageal Tube Feeding+comprehensive rehabilitation therapy | Experimental | During the 15-day treatment, both groups of patients are hospitalized, while conventional care and enteral nutrition support are provided to the two groups. Specifically, conventional care includes health education, dietary adjustments, nasopharyngeal hygiene, management of risk factors (blood pressure and lipid control, etc.), exercise rehabilitation, and psychological support. The frequency and content of these interventions are arranged based on the patients; health condition.

| Intermittent Oral-esophageal Tube Feeding | Behavioral | The specific procedure was as follows: the infant was placed in a semi-recumbent or sitting position with the head fixed. Before each feeding, the infant's oral and nasal secretions were to be cleared. An intermittent oro-esophageal tube was appropriately lubricated with water on the head part. The professional medical staff held the tube and slowly inserted it through one side of the mouth into the upper part of the esophagus. The depth of insertion depended on the patient's age and height. After each feeding, the tube was immediately removed, and the patient was held upright for at least 30 minutes in case of reflux. |

| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index | 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. | day1 and day15 |

| Nasogastric Tube Feeding | Behavioral | Nasogastric Tube Feeding were used for feeding to provide nutritional support. Each feeding was administered by a nurse using the infant's mother's breast milk through the tube. The amount of each feeding varied from 20 to 100 ml depending on the age of the infant, with feedings given every 2 to 3 hours, approximately 10 times per day. The duration of each feeding procedure ranged from 10 to 20 minutes. The total daily intake ranged from 200 to 1000 ml. Each tube was kept indwelling for 5 to 7 days. When the tube needed to be replaced, it was removed after the last feeding of a day and a new tube was to be inserted through the other nostril on the following morning to continue the nutritional support. |
|
| comprehensive rehabilitation therapy | Behavioral | Both groups were given comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. The main intervention measures included: 1) non-invasive ventilator treatment, generally at least once every night and typically not exceeding continuous daily usage.; 2) attention to feeding and sleeping positions, with a recommended sleeping position of lateral recumbent and the head of the bed raised by 20-30°; 3) swallowing function training, such as tongue muscle stretching training, assisted anterior jaw protrusion training, lemon ice stimulation to the soft palate, pharyngeal wall, etc., generally 5 days per week, twice per day, 5-20 minutes each time; 4) pulmonary ultrashort wave therapy, generally at least 2-3 times a week, and not more than once a day; 5) physical therapy, such as intensive training for gross motor functions including lifting the head, turning over, sitting, crawling, standing, etc., generally 3-5 days per week, 1-2 times per day, 5-20 min each time. |
