Summary

This study looked at whether gentle massage helps preterm babies gain weight, grow, and feel less stressed. Researchers gave 60 preterm infants in intensive care either daily massage for 10 days or standard care. They measured weight, length, head size, and stress levels from video recordings. The goal was to see if massage could support healthy development in these fragile babies.
