NCT ID NCT06063122

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests a special pacifier that plays a mother's voice when a baby sucks on it, aiming to help preterm infants learn to tell different speech sounds apart. About 200 babies born early will take part, and researchers will measure their brain activity with a soft electrode cap. The goal is to see if this device improves how the babies' brains process sounds, which could lead to better language development later on.
