NCT ID NCT06163586
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether gentle touch and massage therapy can help very premature babies in the NICU. 32 babies were split into two groups: one received massage therapy plus standard care, the other received standard care alone. Researchers tracked how long each baby stayed in the hospital, how much they weighed, and their pain and stress levels to see if massage made a difference.
