Abdominal binders for feeding in preterm babies on breathing support
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps preterm babies on breathing support keep their milk feeds going without interruptions. It might help reduce pauses in feeding and support growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is between 7 and 21 days old when the study starts.
- Your baby is on a breathing machine that helps through the nose (CPAP or NIMV), not a breathing tube.
- Your baby has already been fed at least 80 mL per kilogram of body weight in a day.
- Your baby does not have skin problems, belly or breathing issues, umbilical lines, or known genetic conditions.

This study tests whether placing a feeding tube past the stomach (postpyloric) can help very premature babies with ongoing lung problems breathe better. Infants born before 32 weeks who still need breathing support may join.
This trial is testing whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps premature babies who need breathing support through a mask or prongs. It aims to make breathing easier and more comfortable for these tiny infants.
This study tests whether gentle tummy massage can help premature babies in the NICU who have trouble digesting feedings. If your baby qualifies, they will receive daily massages to see if it improves feeding and comfort.
This study looks at feeding problems in preterm babies (born before 37 weeks). It aims to understand how to better manage feeding intolerance in the first month of life.
This trial tests a new non-invasive breathing support that adjusts to each baby's own breathing pattern. It aims to help very premature infants breathe more comfortably and avoid more invasive ventilation.
This study looks at a different way to help very premature babies breathe in the first minutes after birth, which may improve their breathing and reduce lung problems.
