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 feel more comfortable and stay stable while they receive breathing support through a mask (nCPAP). It may help parents learn a calming technique that supports their baby's well-being.
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 compares two swaddling methods to see which one helps babies sleep better, cry less, and makes mothers more comfortable. It is for healthy babies aged 1-4 months who cannot roll over yet.
This study tests whether placing premature babies on their side while they receive breathing support helps them breathe better and stay more stable. It may help parents understand a simple positioning technique that could improve their baby's comfort and health.
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.
