Gentle touch therapy tested to boost movement in tiniest babies

NCT ID NCT06648213

Summary

This study tested whether a gentle, structured physical therapy program could help improve movement development in very premature babies while they were still in the hospital's intensive care unit. Researchers compared 30 babies who received the special therapy to those who received only standard care. The therapy involved careful positioning, gentle hand contacts, and movement exercises designed to support the baby's nervous system.
