NCT ID NCT05265143
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 100 very small preterm infants (under 1750 grams) to compare two different ways of feeding them through a tube. The goal was to see which method caused fewer feeding problems like bloating or vomiting. Researchers measured how often feeding intolerance happened and how quickly babies could reach full feeds.
