Oral Enteral Nutrition in Delayed Onset Radiotherapy-related Swallowing Disorder in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
March 8, 2024 updated by: Muhammad
Oral Enteral Nutrition in Delayed Onset Radiotherapy-related Swallowing Disorder in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Randomly Controlled Study
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.

Detailed Description
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).

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intermittent Oral-esophageal Tube Feeding
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 health condition.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Depression
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
The PATIENT HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE scale is utilized to evaluate the depression of patients at admission and after treatment.
Options representing varying degrees of severity, ranging from 0 to 3 were provided in each aspect.
The total scores between 0 and 4 were classified as negative, indicating the absence of depressive symptoms, while scores above 4 were classified as positive, indicating the presence of potential depressive symptoms.
|
day 1 and day 15
|
Swallowing-Quality of Life questionnaire
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
The Chinese version of the Swallowing-Quality of Life questionnaire (SWAL-QOL) was used to assess the quality of life of patients.he
Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 was utilized for scoring, with a total of 44 items, including difficulties in swallowing, dietary restrictions, oral health, social communication, and others.
The total score was converted to a standard percentage scale ranging from 0 to 100, with positively correlated with QOL.
|
day 1 and day 15
|
Functional Oral Intake Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) was used to evaluate function of oral intake.
In the FOIS assessment, two professional rehabilitation therapists communicated with the patients, observed and recorded to assess their swallowing function.
The assessment scale consists of seven levels, with a higher level indicating progressively better swallowing function (less dysphagia).
|
day 1 and day 15
|
Penetration-Aspiration Scale
Time Frame: day 1 and day 15
|
In this study, the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) was recruited, which was a commonly used to evaluate the occurrence of penetration or aspiration during swallowing.
It categorizes dysphagia into eight levels, with Level 0 indicating no penetration or aspiration and Level 8 indicating severe aspiration.
A higher level indicates more severe dysphagia.
