Summary
This study looked at whether gentle abdominal massage, given once or twice a day, could help full-term newborns with jaundice who are already receiving phototherapy (light treatment). The idea is that massage might stimulate bowel movements, helping the body get rid of bilirubin faster. Researchers compared 35 babies split into three groups: massage once daily, massage twice daily, or standard care alone.
