Gentle massage may help clear newborn jaundice faster
NCT ID NCT07388732
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle abdominal massage could help newborns with jaundice. Jaundice causes yellow skin and is treated with special blue light. Researchers wanted to see if massaging the baby's belly once or twice a day would help them poop more, which helps remove the yellow pigment (bilirubin) from their body. They compared 35 newborns getting massage plus light therapy to those getting only light therapy.
