NCT ID NCT07284303
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether using an automatic baby swing helps newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sleep better, feel more comfortable, and have stable heart rate, breathing, and temperature. The study will include 40 healthy newborns born between 35 and 42 weeks. Researchers will compare babies who use the swing with those who receive standard care.
