NCT ID NCT03939169
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using supportive postures and holding techniques can lessen pain in premature babies when a feeding tube is placed through the nose into the stomach. The researchers planned to include babies born between 32 and 35 weeks, with or without their mother present. However, the study was stopped early with only 4 participants, so no clear conclusions can be drawn.
