Summary
This study looked at whether covering the incubator with a white cover and giving baby massage during phototherapy can lower bilirubin levels and shorten treatment time in newborns with jaundice. Researchers studied 60 full-term babies receiving phototherapy. The goal was to see if these simple, non-invasive additions could improve outcomes.

white cover and baby massage
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple, low-cost approach could help newborns with jaundice recover faster and reduce the time they need phototherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 babies, so results may not apply to all newborns. The interventions are supportive and not a replacement for standard medical care.
