Summary

This study tests whether a special hat with built-in goggles can make phototherapy more comfortable for full-term newborns with jaundice, compared to standard eye patches. Researchers will measure the babies' comfort levels, bilirubin changes, treatment duration, and parental satisfaction. The trial involves 24 newborns in a single hospital, so results are preliminary.

What this could lead to: If effective, this simple device could make phototherapy more comfortable for newborns and more satisfying for parents, potentially reducing treatment duration.
