Swaddling or tucking for comfort on CPAP
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle swaddling or a technique called 'facilitated tucking' (holding the baby in a curled, comfortable position) helps premature babies feel more comfortable while they are on nasal CPAP breathing support. The goal is to see if these simple comfort measures can reduce stress and improve care for late preterm infants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is using a breathing device called nasal CPAP (a mask or prongs that help them breathe).
- Your baby was born between 34 weeks and 36 weeks 6 days of pregnancy.
- Your baby has no birth defects or other health problems that would affect positioning.
- Your baby has not had any pain or sedation medicine in the last 4 hours.
- Your baby does not have a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) and is not on a breathing tube.

This study tests if gently wrapping (swaddling) or positioning (nesting) your baby helps reduce pain and stress while they are on breathing support. It's for newborns who are breathing fast but otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether different lengths of gentle massage help late preterm babies on a type of breathing support called nCPAP feel more comfortable and stay stable. It may help parents comfort their baby during their hospital stay.
This study tests whether gentle massage can help newborns who are on nasal CPAP (a breathing support machine). If your baby is stable, born at 34 weeks or later, and started CPAP in the last 24 hours, this trial may be an option for you.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This study compares two breathing support methods — high-flow nasal cannula and CPAP — for very premature babies born between 28 and 31 weeks. It aims to find which approach helps them breathe best when they need help right after birth.
