The Effect of Spa and Massage on Babies on Colic Symptoms

Infantile Colic Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Spa and Massage on Babies on Colic Symptoms: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Although various complementary health approaches have been examined to alleviate colic symptoms, there seems to be a limited number of studies on SPA and massage applications. For this reason, the study was planned to determine the effectiveness of nurses' baby SPA and massage practices in reducing colic symptoms in babies.

Clinical Trial Description

Baby SPA is a physiotherapy method that stimulates the baby's motor movements through water (hydrotherapy) and performs body circulation in an integrated way to balance the mind and emotions. Playing with water, the baby's muscles develop, circulation accelerates and the body becomes flexible. It also increases the intestinal motility of the baby. This allows the baby to pass gas more easily. In addition, all parts of the body of the baby floating in the water develop. Because in the water, the hands and legs move freely, giving the whole body the ability to move. Due to the low gravitational effect while swimming in the water, the baby's ability to control their muscles develops, which allows the baby to move more and all of their muscles to work optimally. On the other hand, when the baby is in the water, he feels that he is in an environment similar to the intrauterine environment he is used to. Infant massage also used to reduce the symptoms of infantile colic, is often called stimulus touch. Baby massage can be defined as a relaxed conversation between parent and baby. Infant massage is also called touch therapy, which refers to a technique that combines the physical benefits of human touch with emotional benefits such as mind bonding. Massage is an application that makes the baby more sensitive, develops a sense of security, enables better communication with eye contact, increases comfort, creates a deep bond between parent and baby, as well as supports the baby's physical, mental and emotional development. Although various complementary health approaches have been examined to alleviate colic symptoms, there seems to be a limited number of studies on SPA and massage applications. For this reason, the study was planned to determine the effectiveness of nurses' baby SPA and massage practices in reducing colic symptoms in babies. ;
