Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Simo decoction versus domperidone suspension for post-pyloric spiral nasoenteric tube placement: A multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority trial.
Leveraging prokinetics to facilitate trans-pyloric migration is a conventional strategy. However, due to restrictions on the use of domperidone suspension, oral prokinetics is relatively modest. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of simo decoction as an alternative to domperidone suspension in facilitating post-pyloric placement of spiral nasoenteric tubes. ⋯ Non-inferiority of simo decoction to domperidone suspension was not confirmed in facilitating post-pyloric placement of spiral nasoenteric tubes. Registration: The trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry at http://www.chictr.org.cn (registration number ChiCTR-INR-17011311).
