About this study

Official title: Effects of Oral Stimulation and Supplemental Nursing System on the Transition Time to Full Breast of Mother and Sucking Success in Preterm Infants

This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral stimulation and a supplemental nursing system on the time to full maternal breastfeeding and sucking success in preterm infants.

Read the detailed description

This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral stimulation and a supplemental nursing system on the time to full maternal breastfeeding and sucking success in preterm infants. The sample consisted of 70 preterm babies. Oral motor stimulation and a supplemental nursing system were applied to the preterm infants in the experimental group, while no intervention was applied to those in the control group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oral motor stimulation (OMS) and The supplemental nursing system (SNS)Device

    OMS and an SNS were applied to preterm infants in the experimental group. Oral stimulation intervention provides assisted movement to activate muscle contraction and provides movement against resistance to build strength. The cheeks (internal and external), lips, gums, tongue, and palate were stimulated by finger-stroking following the protocol. OMS consisted of intra (oral region) and peri-oral stimulation (around the oral region). The OMS was administered three times a day by a nurse, from the day of initiation of oral feeding to the day of independent oral feeding 15 minutes before the feeding schedule. A bottle/container was filled with breast milk before the process and given to the baby via SNS while the baby was holding the mother's breast. The SNS consists of a syringe/container and a feeding catheter. One end of the feeding probe is inside the syringe/container, while the other end of it is fixed to the mother's nipple using plaster.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. transition times to oral feeding

    Transition time to oral feeding is the time that the preterm baby outgrew gavage feeding and fed with complementary nutritional support, and it was evaluated as days in the study.

    Measured: up to three weeks

  2. transition times to full breast

    The transition time to full breastfeeding is the duration from the day that the preterm baby started oral nutrition until the day they started breastfeeding

    Measured: up to 15 days

  3. the weight of the babies when they started oral nutrition

    . The oral nutrition body weight is the weight of preterm babies when they started oral nutrition after gavage.

    Measured: up to three weeks

  4. the weight of the babies when they started full breastfeeding

    The full breastfeeding body weight is the weight in grams of preterm babies when they started feeding from the breast alone

    Measured: up to 15 days

  5. the duration of the baby's discharge

    The duration of discharge is the number of days between the admission of preterm babies to intensive care and their discharge

    Measured: up to 2 months

  6. The oral nutrition body weight

    The oral nutrition body weight is the weight of preterm babies when they started oral nutrition after gavage.

    Measured: up to three weeks

  7. The full breastfeeding body weight

    The full breastfeeding body weight is the weight in grams of preterm babies when they started feeding from the breast alone.

    Measured: up to 15 days

  8. The discharge body weight

    The discharge body weight is the weight in grams of preterm babies at discharge

    Measured: up to 2 months

  9. The sucking success

    The sucking score of preterm babies was determined using LATCH breastfeeding scores at discharge.

    Measured: In the first month after discharge

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Heart rate of the babies

    Heart rate

    Measured: 15 minutes

  2. respiratory rate of the babies

    respiratory rate

    Measured: 15 minutes

  3. oxygen saturation of the babies

    oxygen saturation

    Measured: 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oral motor stimulation (OMS) and The supplemental nursing system (SNS) in people with Breastfeeding, run by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

transition times to oral feeding (time frame: up to three weeks). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2021.
