ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special feeding technique, called Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI), can help premature babies who have trouble feeding after leaving the neonatal intensive care unit. The goal is to teach mothers how to use this technique to improve their babies' feeding skills and strengthen the bond between mother and child. The study will evaluate the changes in the babies' ability to feed and how this practice affects their relationship with their mothers.

To participate in the study, babies must have been born before 37 weeks of pregnancy and be in stable health without any swallowing problems or serious medical conditions. Families must agree to take part in the trial. If you have a premature baby who meets these criteria, this study might be a good opportunity to receive support in feeding your little one. The trial is not yet recruiting, so you will need to wait for updates on when you can join.
