Baby massage for comfort on breathing support
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
