Summary

This study tests whether a daily 15-minute massage can reduce fluid buildup (lymphedema) and improve comfort in premature newborns in the NICU. Forty infants will be split into two groups: one receiving standard care, the other adding massage for 14 days. Researchers will measure limb swelling and use a comfort scale to see if massage helps these fragile babies feel better.
