Immediate Effect Of Intraoral Versus Extraoral Versus Combined Oromotor Stimulation In Preterm Neonates A Randomized Control Trial

This study is focused on comparing the outcomes of three different approaches to oromotor stimulation (OMS) in preterm infants: internal OMS, which involves manipulative actions within the mouth; external OMS, which involves manipulative actions outside the mouth; and combined OMS, which utilizes a combination of both techniques. The objective is to determine whether any of these approaches are equally effective in enhancing sucking and feeding abilities in preterm infants. If it is found that each protocol yields comparable results, it would lead to a significant reduction in the time required for treatment while still providing substantial benefits for the child’s feeding development. This would mean that clinicians could choose the most efficient OMS approach without compromising the quality of care, ultimately resulting in better outcomes for preterm infants.
