NCT ID NCT07322731
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether gentle massage can help preterm babies (born 35-37 weeks) in the NICU sleep better, feel less stressed, and be more comfortable. Forty babies will either receive a 15-minute massage three times a day for three days or standard care. Researchers will measure sleep, stress, comfort, and vital signs to see if massage improves their well-being.
