Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Preterm [premature] newborn [other],

Registration Number: CTRI/2023/11/060267

Lead Sponsor: AMRITA A SIVASANKER

Brief Summary: Infants born with low birth weight is the leading factor in neonatal mortality in the world. These infants faces a lot of problems like sensory-neurological disorders, palsies, cognitive and speech delays, neuromotor, visual impairment, behavioral problems and school dysfunction. These critical decisions to rule out the exact cause of death rely on the collected data on maternal risk, obstetrical factors, history collected at admission and documentation of clinical events.

To improve developmental outcomes in preterm infants specific interventions are designed for preterm babies admitted in NICU. Multi sensory intervention to stimulate the babies is a relatively new intervention that closely resembles the principles of evolutionary care. In order to stimulate and facilitate the development of the preterm babies there are many types of multi-sensory stimulation have been proposed since 1960 specially designed for preterm babies admitted in the hospital.

This trial also include the pilot study.
