Growth Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effect of Medium-chain Triglyceride Oil Massage on Physical Growth in Preterm Infants Weighing Between 1500 and 2000 g: a Prospective Randomized Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Aim: To explore the effect of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil massage on growth in preterm infants.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the newborn center of a regional hospital in Taiwan. Preterm infants weighing between 1500 and 2000 g were recruited and randomly assigned to three groups: the MCT oil massage, massage alone and no massage groups.
