In this study, scientists are looking at two different ways to help stroke patients get the nutrition they need. A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked, which can cause problems like difficulty swallowing, known as dysphagia. Patients in this study will either use an Intermittent Oro-esophageal Tube or a Nasogastric Tube to help them eat. The oro-esophageal tube goes through the mouth to the esophagus, while the nasogastric tube goes through the nose to the stomach. This study will compare how these tubes affect the amount of food patients can eat and their overall nutrition. Researchers will check changes in how much food patients can take in and their nutritional health before and after the study.
- The study lasts for 15 days for each participant.
- Participants are divided into two groups, each using a different feeding tube.
- All participants receive routine rehabilitation treatment.
