First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear while babies practice bottle feeding. The goal is to help infants with brain injury or feeding delays learn to eat by mouth, so they can go home sooner and avoid feeding tubes. About 88 babies will take part in this blinded, randomized trial across multiple hospitals.
