In recent years, non-pharmacological, touch-based interventions have gained attention for their potential to support neurodevelopment, improve comfort, and stabilize physiological parameters in preterm infants.\n\nTherapeutic Touch (TT) is a non-invasive, holistic intervention based on the modulation of the human energy field through gentle hand movements, aiming to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support physiological regulation. Although TT has demonstrated beneficial effects in various populations, evidence regarding its effects on preterm infants remains limited.\n\nThis randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of Therapeutic Touch on behavioral responses, comfort levels, and physiological parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature) in preterm infants hospitalized in the NICU. The findings are expected to contribute evidence for safe, supportive, and holistic neonatal care practices.",[72],"Premature Infants",[74,22,75,76,77],"Preterm Infant","Behavioral Responses","Neonatal Comfort","Physiological Parameters","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-01-14",{"date":81,"type":82},"2026-01-23","ACTUAL",{"date":84,"type":66},"2026-01-30",{"date":86,"type":66},"2026-05-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
