Premature birth, low birth weight, and a history of neonatal intensive care history are significant risk factors associated with long-term neurodevelopmental adverse outcomes in infants. Family-centered early intervention programs play a critical role in minimizing the impact of these risks and optimizing developmental potential. Currently, telerehabilitation (TR) has emerged as a cost-effective solution that facilitates access to early intervention services. However, there is limited literature directly comparing the efficacy and feasibility of synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (store-and-forward) parent coaching-based TR models specifically within the at-risk infant population. The primary objective of this project is to comparatively examine the effects of synchronous and asynchronous TR programs on motor development levels, individualized goal attainment, and parental self-efficacy in infants aged 6-9 months (corrected age) at risk of developmental delay, against a standard home program (control group). Designed as a randomized controlled trial, the study will include 45 high-risk infants meeting the inclusion criteria, who will be randomly allocated into three groups: Synchronous TR, Asynchronous TR, and Control. In the Synchronous group, parents will receive real-time coaching via video conferencing for 12 weeks, whereas the Asynchronous group process will be managed through video analysis and delayed feedback mechanisms. The Control group will be provided with standard digital educational materials. The primary outcome measures of the study include Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) scores, the Parental Self-Efficacy Instrument, and the Parenting Stress Index. Secondary measures will include the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development (Bayley-IV), the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE). Data will be collected at baseline (T0) and post-intervention (T1) by an assessor blinded to group allocation. The findings obtained from this study aim to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of different TR models, thereby providing guidance for the planning and dissemination of remote healthcare services for high-risk infants.
NCT02510560
The study will evaluate the effect of NTRA-2112 on intestinal malabsorption in preterm infants.
NCT02508571
This is randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of direct swallowing training and oral sensorimotor stimulation in preterm infants on oral feeding performance.
NCT02523222
This was a quasi-experimental pilot study comparing blood glucose values 30 minutes after feeding alone or feeding + dextrose gel in newborns at risk for transient neonatal hypoglycemia.
NCT02452580
This study evaluates possible effects of two different NICU designs; by comparing traditional and Family Centered Care in terms of infant nutrition, health and growth, and coping by family.
NCT01678638
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early (before NICU discharge) or late (55-60 weeks post-menstrual age) inguinal hernia repair is safer for premature infants who have an inguinal hernia.
NCT03316547
Seventy preterm infants born less than or equal to 32 weeks gestation were put into either the sensory-based intervention (experiment) group or traditional care (control) group. Consecutive admissions at St. Louis Children's Hospital (SLCH) who were hospitalized in a private NICU room were recruited. The parents of infants in the sensory-based intervention group were educated and supported by trained therapists to give different positive sensory experiences to their infants while hospitalized. The traditional care group received normal, standard care while hospitalized. For both care groups, infant neurobehavior, sensory processing, and parent mental health were measured at term age prior to hospital discharge. Child development, sensory processing, and parent mental health were measured again at age one year (corrected). Differences between the two groups were explored.
NCT01759134
The objective of this study is to compare the post-discharge growth of preterm infants fed with 2 different post discharge formulas.
NCT01748214
Infants in neonatal intensive care units are increasing exposed to non-invasive ventilatory support modes (nasal continuous positive airway pressure - NCPAP and high flow nasal cannula: \>1 L/min flow - HFNC). While there have been small descriptive studies of noise exposure in infants on NCPAP, there have been no comparative trials done comparing noise exposure in infants undergoing both NCPAP and HFNC. Objective: Using a cross-over model determine noise exposure levels in infants exposed to similar levels of respiratory support provided by NCPAP and HFNC.
