Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of bundling gentle body massage along with regular position change on bilirubin level and clinical outcomes among full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia under phototherapy. Hypothesis Full-term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia who receive gentle body massage along with regular position change exhibit less bilirubin level and better clinical outcomes than those who don't.


Clinical Trial Description

A quasi-experimental study was carried out in the NICU of XX. Sixty full-term neonates were randomly assigned to two equal groups. The control group received the conventional NICU care of infants undergoing phototherapy. Phototherapy was given by single Blue LEDs emitting light in a narrow spectrum (450-470 nm). Initially, phototherapy lamps were checked and adjusted at the height of 30 cm from the neonates who were kept naked in the incubator/crib except for the reproductive organs with shielded eyes. The neonates were positioned supine under the phototherapy. The treatment was given continuously, except while feeding and nursing for 30 minutes every 3 hours. The neonates' skin was cleaned with warm water without applying any sorts of ointments oils or creams. They were also observed for signs of dehydration. The intervention group received all basic routine care in addition to regular position change from supine to laterals under the phototherapy every two hours. They also received gentle body massage ;
