This paper reviews the experience of managing 31 patients with severe dysphagia in motor neurone disease. Thirteen patients were fed nasogastrically and the remaining 18 were managed conservatively without a nasogastric tube. The introduction of nasogastric feeding led to the development of new problems in some patients, without any significant differences in survival times or relief of distressing symptoms.
