Trial summary

Background: Perinatal asphyxia and the resulting hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are significant causes of irreversible adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. Neonates and infants with HIE commonly experience difficulties in learning the oromotor skills of sucking, swallowing, and breathing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Sensorimotor Stimulation on Oral Feeding Skills for Neonates Post Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Background: Perinatal asphyxia and the resulting hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are significant causes of irreversible adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. Neonates and infants with HIE commonly experience difficulties in learning the oromotor skills of sucking, swallowing, and breathing. These feeding problems can lead to severe complications such as weight loss, dehydration, malnutrition, and developmental deficits.

Objective: The study aims to assess the efficacy of sensorimotor stimulation intervention on oral skills in neonates with post-hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Methods: The study will include thirty infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. They will be divided into two equal groups: The study group receive traditional medical treatment as well as a sensorimotor stimulation program, whereas the control group receive only traditional medical treatment

What participants receive

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

  • sensorimotor stimulation program sessionsOther

    The study group, consisting of 15 neonates, received traditional medical treatment along with sensorimotor stimulation program sessions. These sessions included oral stimulation protocol, Tactile/Kinesthetic (T/K) intervention, feeding position, and oral support.

What is being measured

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

  1. Transition time from tube to full oral feeding

    the number of days from the commencement of the intervention to the first day of exclusive oral feeding.

    Measured: - At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period (Premji et

  2. Time taken to accomplish exclusive oral feeding

    this is the number of days from the beginning of oral feeding until discharge.

    Measured: At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period (Premji et a

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total hospital stay

    this is the number of days from the start of the oral stimulation program until discharge from the NICU.

    Measured: At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sensorimotor stimulation program sessions in people with Neonates Post Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, run by Cairo University.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Ahmed fekry Salman, PhD (+962797168340, a.salman@ammanu.edu.jo), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Transition time from tube to full oral feeding (time frame: - At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period (Premji et). The study lists 2 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 26 Nov 2024.
