Vimala massage for infant colic, sleep, and development
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle massage technique called Vimala massage to see if it helps reduce colic symptoms, improve sleep, and support development in babies with colic. Your baby would receive the massage, and researchers would track how they respond.
