U.S., April 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07554716) titled 'Chronobiology and Enteral Nutrition' on April 21.
Brief Summary: Medical Nutritional Therapy (MNT) is critical for patients with impaired oral intake and is typically administered via enteral nutrition (EN). Current infusion practices-continuous 24-hour enteral nutrition for hospitalised patients-may induce circadian misalignment (chronodisruption). This misalignment can negatively impact metabolic function, sleep quality, and overall quality of life for both patients and caregivers. Synchronising MNT administration with circadian rhythms may improve metabolic balance, sleep, and patient well-being.
