First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether Therapeutic Touch, a gentle, non-invasive therapy, can help premature babies in the NICU feel more comfortable and have more stable heart rates, breathing, and oxygen levels. About 62 preterm infants will either receive this touch therapy or standard care for 5 days. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach can reduce stress and improve well-being for these vulnerable babies.
