What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate abdominal pain and its predictive factors following the placement of a percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG). PRG is a method used primarily for enteral nutrition that offers advantages such as being done under local anesthesia and having higher success rates than percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The study focuses on understanding the prevalence and severity of pain after PRG placement, which is a known complication often requiring pain treatment. Participants undergo PRG placement and then complete a numerical pain scale questionnaire ranging from 0 to 10. This observational, single-center study lasts 12 months and tracks abdominal pain from baseline until 7 days after the PRG procedure. The study also aims to identify factors that might predict the level of pain experienced after the placement. During the study, participants will be asked to report their abdominal pain daily for a week using the questionnaire. Researchers will evaluate the pain intensity and analyze predictive factors on the first day after PRG placement. The total participation involves monitoring the pain experience closely in the first week to better understand and manage this complication.
