Premature babies often have difficulty feeding because their sucking, swallowing, and breathing are not yet coordinated, which can lead to longer hospital stays. The study will include 150 premature infants born between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy at a hospital in Thi Qar. Babies will be randomly placed into one of three groups: one group will receive a many-day mouth exercise program, another will use a pacifier for many days, and the third will receive routine care. We will measure how quickly each baby learns to feed fully by mouth, how long they stay in the hospital, how much weight they gain, and their feeding skills. The results may help improve care for premature babies and reduce the time they spend in the hospital.",[28,29,30],"Feeding Difficulties","Sucking Behavior","Premature",[32,33,34,28,29,15,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42],"Premature Infant","Preterm Infant","Oral Feeding","Pacifier Use","Non-nutritive Sucking","Oral Motor Intervention","Neonatal Intensive Care","NICU","Feeding Transition","Weight Gain","Length of Hospital Stay","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-03-06",{"date":46,"type":47},"2026-03-10","ACTUAL",{"date":46,"type":22},{"date":50,"type":22},"2026-05-30",{"name":52,"class":53},"University of Baghdad","OTHER",1,{"id":56,"slug":57,"hasResults":11,"nctId":58,"briefTitle":59,"officialTitle":60,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":61,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":62,"maxAge":63,"enrollmentInfo":64,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":66,"briefSummary":67,"conditions":68,"keywords":69,"overallStatus":78,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":79,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":80,"startDateStruct":82,"completionDateStruct":84,"leadSponsor":86,"locationsCount":54},"100597598","effects-of-oral-stimulation-performed-by-parents-to-improve-sucking-in-neonates-hospitalized-in-the-nicu-100597598","NCT07060573","Effects of Oral Stimulation Performed by Parents to Improve Sucking in Neonates Hospitalized in the NICU","Effects of Oral Stimulation Performed by Parents to Improve Sucking in Neonates Hospitalized in the NICU: A Randomized Clinical Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Neonates with corrected gestational age of 34 to 36 weeks\n* Clinically stable to receive oral stimulation\n* Informed consent obtained from parents or legal guardians\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Orofacial congenital malformations\n* Severe neuromuscular disease\n* Conditions contraindicating oral feeding","34 Weeks","36 Weeks",{"count":65,"type":22},32,[25],"This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral stimulation program to improve sucking in preterm neonates hospitalized in the NICU.
