Effect of Kinesio-taping Technique on Oral Feeding in Late Preterm Infants

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Difficulty in feeding among late preterm infants is one of the most significant factors contributing to prolonged hospitalization and re-admissions. By providing support to the sucking and swallowing muscles early in their development, the maturation process can be expedited, allowing for the safe early discharge of preterm infants. This study aims to investigate the effects of the Kinesio taping technique on feeding muscles and assess feeding and swallowing function in late preterm infants using acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds.

Clinical Trial Description

Problems such as poor nutrition, weak sucking, lack of suck-swallow-respiration coordination, low weight gain are among the factors increasing the risk of morbidity in late preterm infants. Early support of sucking and swallowing muscles for the development of suck-swallow coordination can shorten the maturation process and provide early discharge of late preterm infants. The aim of this study is to document kinesiotape technique to support sucking and swallowing muscles for treating nutritional problems and for reducing nutrition risks and accelerating maturation. According to power of analysis of this study, 74 infants planned to assign to kinesiotaping group or control group randomly. In kinesiotaping group, infants feeding performance will be evaluated by measuring the amount of milk invested, maximum heart rate, oxygen saturation, speed of milk intake and counting the number of swallow during feeding. Kinesiotape will be applied to masseter and hyoid muscles 24 hours later after the birth of the infant. Infants will be evaluated before kinesiotape application, 3 hour later and 24 hour later after the application. ;
