Multi-sensory Interventions for Preterm Infants

OPEN CLINICAL STUDY: Multi-sensory Interventions for Preterm Infants

The long-term goal of this project is to improve the health and well-being of preterm infants and their parents. Although there is evidence to support positive multi-sensory interventions in the NICU, these interventions are often applied in an inconsistent manner, reducing their benefit. Through a rigorous and scientific process, we have developed a structured multi-sensory intervention program, titled Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences (SENSE), which includes specific doses and targeted timing of evidence-based interventions such as massage, auditory exposure, rocking, holding, and skin-to-skin care.
