简要总结
Body weight gain is crucial for preterm newborns, especially those with a low birth weight. Owing to their noninvasive, noncontact, and non-pharmaceutical properties, extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) are a promising medium of alternative and complementary therapy.
详细描述
Sixty-one preterm newborns of 32-35 weeks' gestational age were recruited from the neonatal intensive care unit of the Chung Shan Medical University Hospital and randomly assigned to one of two groups: the experimental group (n = 31) or the control group (n = 30). Both groups received the same medical care, but the experimental group was exposed to ELF-EMFs until discharge.

研究组 & 干预措施
Extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields
After parental permission for participation was obtained, the preterm newborns were enrolled and divided into the experimental group, which received ELF-EMF therapy after a pretest in addition to regular medical care, and the control group, which received regular medical care only, using a random number table.
干预措施: extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (Device)
control group
routine care
干预措施: routine care (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline body weight gain at 4 weeks
时间窗: Baseline, week1, week2, week3, week4.
Although the preterm newborns' body weight was recorded daily, the differences in body weight gain between the two groups were compared every week.The body weights of the preterm newborns were recorded using the same weighing scale at the same time every day.
次要结局
- Change from Baseline sleep quality at 4 weeks(Baseline, week1, week2, week3, week4.)
