Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effectiveness of oral motor intervention in preterm infants and its combined methods with multisensory stimulation in nutritional sucking in preterm infants admitted to the intensive care unit
Design
Clinical trial, with control group, with parallel groups, one-way blind, randomized, on 90 patients
Settings and conduct
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria for preterm infants in this study include: Fetal age between 28 to 34 weeks, birth weight between 1000 and 2000 grams Receiving tube feeding, physiological stability, absence of congenital anomalies, absence of genetic syndromes, absence of neonatal obstruction, absence of untreated blood infection, absence, presence of pink cranial malformations, absence of untreated respiratory disease Exclusion criteria of this study include: Physiological instability at the beginning and during interventions of nutritional stimuli, infant death
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Combined methods (PIOMI with multisensory stimulation) For this group, in addition to performing oral movement therapy in premature infants, multisensory stimulation will also be performed. In this way, for 5 days a week, multi-sensory stimulation, which includes auditory stimulation, tactile stimulation, visual stimulation and vestibular stimulation, will be performed for 12 minutes. Touch stimulation by massaging the baby's limbs for 3 minutes, auditory stimulation By playing a lullaby in the incubator for 3 minutes, visual stimulation by hanging black and white cards inside the incubator for 3 minutes and vestibular stimulation by vertical and horizontal shaking of the baby for 3 minutes.
Main outcome variables
Determining the effectiveness of combination therapies on oral nutrition in premature infants

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization: Individuals are divided into two groups completely randomly based on the method of 4 random blocks. The site at sealedenvelope.com is used for randomization. If we call two groups A and B. The logic of randomization is that from 6 blocks BAAB, BBAA, ABBA, ABAB, AABB and BABA, we select enough samples by placement (ie n / 4) to get the sample size.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
Blinding: The patient has no knowledge of how to be in groups. Only those who do the intervention know how patients are grouped. The rest of the people involved in the study have no knowledge of the assignment of individuals to groups. People who do the job of measuring response variables are different from people who do the job of intervention.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Combined methods (PIOMI with multisensory stimulation)For this group, in addition to performing Premature Infant Oral Motor Intervention(PIOMI), multisensory stimulation will also be performed. Thus, daily and for 5 days a week, multisensory stimulation, which includes auditory stimulation, tactile stimulation, visual stimulation, and vestibular stimulation, will be performed for 12 minutes. Touch stimulation by massaging the baby's limbs for 3 minutes, auditory stimulation By playing the lullaby in the incubator for 3 minutes, visual stimulation by hanging black and white cards inside the incubator for 3 minutes, and vestibular stimulation by vertical and horizontal shaking of the baby for 3 minutes. In this group, the treatments will be performed by the researcher in order, so that first the multisensory treatment is performed and then the PIOMI method. The mother or the nurse of the baby are not involved in the intervention and are unaware of all the treatments received.
