Clinical Trial Summary

Preterm infants with gestational age inferior to 34 weeks were included in the study. A prospective experimental group received the oral stimulation protocol and the effects of the intervention were compared with a historical control group that did not receive any oral stimulation intervention.

The study hypothesis is that oral stimulation in preterm infants has beneficial effects on the feeding performance, the length of hospitalization and anthropometric variables, including weight at discharge, height at discharge and head circumference at discharge.
