Warm tub baths for newborn jaundice light therapy
This study tests whether giving a warm tub bath to newborns with jaundice who are receiving light therapy (phototherapy) helps them feel less stressed and more comfortable. The goal is to see if bathing can improve the baby's overall well-being during this hospital treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
