What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Summary

This study tests whether playing a recording of a mother's voice during feeding helps preterm infants in the NICU. Researchers will measure oxygen levels, heart rate, breathing, and feeding skills in 50 infants. Half will hear their mother's voice; the other half will not. The goal is to see if this simple intervention can improve feeding and stability.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
maternal voice recording
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve feeding and stability in preterm infants.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 infants, so results may not apply broadly. The effect may be small or hard to measure.
