Improving the hospital environment for newborn comfort
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing the hospital environment can improve comfort and care for newborns who are very early in life. It focuses on babies who are delivered early and enrolled right away after birth.

This study offers a counseling approach to help prevent “Vulnerable Child Syndrome” in babies born very early and cared for in the NICU. It focuses on support during the early months after birth and compares outcomes for families getting the therapy versus usual support.
This study tests whether a gentle sensory “stimulation” approach can improve how parents and very preterm babies interact and support the baby’s social development. If you qualify, you and your baby would be asked to take part so researchers can see whether this early intervention helps bonding and social skills.
This study tests whether combining skin-to-skin holding with a 10-minute sound recording can help premature babies' brains develop better. If you have a baby born early (24–33 weeks), you may be able to take part.
This study tests a program to help parents support their preterm baby's early thinking and learning skills. It may help your baby's brain development during this important time.
This pilot study tests whether a CCP (comforting, calming, and positioning) intervention can improve the NICU environment and help preterm babies develop better. It is for very premature infants born before 32 weeks or weighing under 3.3 pounds.
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.
