Summary

This trial tests a wearable vest that uses heat, massage, and vibration to stimulate milk flow in mothers who have had a cesarean delivery and whose babies are in the NICU. Participants use the vest three times daily for 10 days, alongside standard lactation care. The study measures daily milk volume and hormone levels to see if the device can support breastfeeding and prevent milk duct obstruction.

Active substance: AI-based smart lactation support vest that provides heat, massage, and vibration stimulation
What this could lead to: If effective, this wearable vest could offer a drug-free way to boost milk production and reduce the risk of blocked milk ducts in mothers of premature babies.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage device trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to all mothers. The device's comfort and safety during daily use are still being evaluated.
