New breathing techniques tested on premature babies show promise
NCT ID NCT06992492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two different chest therapy methods—Vojta reflex and lung squeezing—to help premature babies (28-36 weeks) with breathing problems. 90 babies were split into three groups: one got standard care, the others got standard care plus one of the two extra techniques. The goal was to see which method better improved oxygen levels and breathing rate over three weeks.
