Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of oral motor intervention (PIOMI) applied to preterm babies along with the smell and taste of breast milk on feeding parameters and the transition time to oral feeding. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does affect nutritional parameters PIOMI with the smell of breast milk? - Does affect nutritional parameters PIOMI with breast milk taste? Participants will consist of breast milk-scented PIOMI, breast milk-tasting PIOMI and control groups. Researchers will compare breast milk-scented PIOMI, breast milk-tasting PIOMI and control groups to see if early feeding skills.


Clinical Trial Description

The preterm newborn population is potentially unable to be fed orally for a long time during the postnatal period. Since the physiological functions of preterm babies have not yet matured, their adaptation to the external uterine environment is more complicated. This also means long hospital stays for premature babies. One of the main criteria for a preterm baby to be discharged from the hospital is to be able to feed orally. Premature oral motor intervention (PIOMI) is included in the literature as one of the treatment programs to improve the oral motor control and neurobehavioral status of preterm babies. No study design has been found regarding PIOMI, which is applied to preterm babies with the smell and taste of breast milk. This research was planned to evaluate the effect of oral motor intervention (PIOMI) applied to preterm babies along with the smell and taste of breast milk on feeding parameters. ;
