Abstract

Prematurity and poor weight gaining are important causes for neonatal hospitalization. The present study aimed to investigate the role of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil via MASSAGE therapy as a supplementary nutritional method on the weight gain of Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) -hospitalized neonates. This randomized clinical trial performed among 121 stable PREMATURE NEONATEs hospitalized in the NICU of Qaem Educational Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. They were randomly divided into three groups: oilmassage, MASSAGE alone and control groups. These groups were compared on the basis of weight gain during a one-week interval. The three groups were matched for sex, mean gestational age, birth weight, head circumference, delivery, and feeding type (P>0.05). The mean weight gain on the 7th day in the oil MASSAGE group was 105±1.3gr and 52±0.1gr in the MASSAGE group; whereas 54±1.3gr weight loss was observed in the control group. Significant differences were observed between the oil-massage group and the other two groups, respectively (P=0.002 and P=0.000). The findings of this study suggest that transcutaneous feeding with MCT OIL MASSAGE therapy in PREMATURE NEONATEs can result in accelerated weight gain in this age group with no risk of NEC.
