RationaleEnteral nutrition is beneficial for stroke patients with oral intake difficulties. However, it is time consuming and may interfere with routine medical care. Therefore, there is a clinical benefit if enteral nutrition can be safely administered in a short time. Although our retrospective study showed the safety of rapid administration, it remains unclear whether rapid administration of enteral nutrition is as safe as conventional administration.AimThe randomized study of Enteral Nutrition with Rapid versus conventional administration in acute stroke patients (Rapid EN trial) aims to clarify the safety of rapid feeding of enteral nutrition compared with conventional feeding.Methods and designThis is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point clinical trial. Eligible criteria include acute stroke patients who have difficulty with oral intake defined as severe altered consciousness (Japan Coma Scale 10–300) or modified water swallowing test
