Brief Summary

This study is the randomized control trial to know the effect of multisensory stimulation on motor and mental development, behavioural status, physical growth and physiological parameters in preterm neonates. Clinical characteristics of neonate will be collected from the case sheet. According to the sequence order the subject will be allocate to the experimental and control group. The Experimental group will receive multisensory stimulation for 10 days. In both the groups physical growth will be assessed on day 10 & the corrected gestational age of 40 weeks then once a month till 6 months.

Physiological parameters will be assessed daily till discharge.Behavioural status will also be assessed daily till discharge.Motor and mental development will be assessed at 3rd month &6th month.
