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 study tests whether a soft abdominal binder can help premature babies who need breathing support breathe more comfortably and may reduce the time they need the support. It is for babies born very early who are expected to need CPAP for at least two weeks.
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 new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This study tests different ways to hold preterm babies skin-to-skin during tube feedings to see which position is most comfortable and helps feeding go smoothly. It aims to improve care for babies born early.
This study looks at how premature babies grow and handle feeding when they get breast milk or donor milk. It aims to find the best ways to feed preterm infants to help them gain weight and stay healthy.
