Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of oral and non-oral intervention of preterm infants on the time of achieving independent oral feeding, weight gain and time of hospital discharge
Design
This study is a RCT. The study population was premature infants aged 28-32 weeks. The method of selecting the subjects after applying the entry and exit criteria is random allocation. The personal and medical information of the subjects is recorded in the prepared questionnaire based on the medical records available in the neonatal intensive care unit and by asking questions from the parents.
Settings and conduct
This study is performed in NICU of Om Al-Banin Hospital.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
1. Be born between 28-32 weeks of gestation. 2. Receive nutrition through the tube 3. Their birth weight is between 1000-2000 grams 4. Have physiological stability (stability in spo2, Hr, RR) at the beginning of nutritional stimuli. 5. Oral irritation and the onset of feeding in these infants do not alter the autonomic system [skin color, heart rate, or respiration rate]. 6. Apgar score above 6 in 5 minutes 7. Newborns without congenital anomalies and obvious chromosomal abnormalities 8. No oral lesions such as candidiasis 9. No lip and mouth abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate
Intervention groups
Oral stimulation group with the method: PIOMI. The non-oral stimulation group with FIELD technique is another group that will be performed by field massage every day.Control Group:Will receive NICU Routine Care.
Main outcome variables
The timing of the onset of oral feeding and reach 8 independent oral feedings in infants in the intervention and control groups will be assessed. The weight of the newborns and age of hospital discharge will be assessed on a daily basis and the average will be compared in the intervention and control groups

Randomized
Randomization description
It was used to allocate infants to intervention and control groups by random block method with a volume of 3 (numbers 1 to 90) according to the lottery in closed envelopes. Random block sampling is a method of randomization that ensures that at almost every point in a study, an almost equal number of participants are assigned to all comparison groups.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Oral stimulation group with PIOMI method: "Oral stimulation before feeding" program is a five-minute oral-motor intervention. In this program, stimuli are applied to oral structures including cheeks, gums, lips, tongue. It is served by gavage once a day before feeding. Oral ostomy intervention for 7 consecutive days without interruption for each infant is performed first by the researcher and after education to the mother by the mother. The 5-minute stimulation program includes 3 minutes of stretching and cheek massage and 2 minutes (non-nutritional sucking (NNS)).

Rehabilitation

2

Description
Intervention group: Non-oral stimulation group with FIELD technique is another group that will be performed by field field massage method per day. Each 15-minute period (before feeding) consists of three 5-minute phases in which the infant is placed in a supine position on the abdomen at the beginning and end, and the fingers of both hands are touched with a gentle pressure with the smooth part of the fingers. In these two phases, one of the following five areas is touched every minute (12 touches in 5 seconds): from the tip of the head down to the sides of the face to the neck and vice versa, ‌ from the back of the neck across the shoulders and vice versa , From the upper back to the bottom to the waist and vice versa, from the thighs down to the ankles and vice versa, from the shoulders to the wrists and vice versa. In the middle phase, the infant was lying flat on its back and 6 passive extension-flexion movements (one every 10 seconds) were given to these five areas, respectively: right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, and both legs. This protocol lasts for 7 days
