Kangaroo Care for First-Time Moms After Vaginal Birth
This study looks at whether gentle skin-to-skin care (called kangaroo care) helps first-time mothers feel more confident and successful with breastfeeding after a vaginal birth.
RizeAges 18–49 - NCT04252547Recruiting
Skin-to-skin care during weighing for preterm babies
This study tests whether “kangaroo care” (skin-to-skin holding) affects how test weights are done for preterm babies in the NICU. It may help staff get more accurate weights and support parents during care.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 7 months–9 months - NCT06545760Recruiting
Kangaroo mother care study and postpartum depression
This study looks at whether keeping mothers and their preterm babies together through kangaroo mother care (skin-to-skin contact) can help reduce postpartum depression. It is for mothers and fathers of newborns who are in the NICU and meet certain weight and age requirements.
LusakaAges 1 day–89 years - NCT07045402Recruiting
Developmental care for preterm infants: comfort, growth, and feeding
This study tests whether a special care program including skin-to-skin contact and storytelling helps preterm babies feel more comfortable, grow better, and learn to feed by mouth sooner. It compares this extra care to the usual hospital care.
IstanbulAges 7 months–8 months - NCT07568418Recruiting
Skin Response Monitoring in Ventilated Premature Babies
This study measures how a premature baby's skin responds to stress while on a breathing machine. Researchers want to understand if skin conductance (electrical activity of the skin) is a good way to detect pain and discomfort in ventilated babies.
Uppsala, UpplandAges 5 months+ - NCT07761689Recruiting
Kangaroo care for pain relief during newborn jaundice light therapy
This study tests whether holding your baby skin-to-skin (kangaroo care) during light therapy for jaundice can help reduce their pain and discomfort. It aims to see if this simple comfort measure is beneficial.
