Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of oral motor intervention (OMI) on brain function development in preterm infants.
METHODS:A total of 112 preterm infants were stratified into small-gestational-age (30-31
RESULTS:On day 7 of OMI, the small-gestational-age intervention group had lower upper bounds of voltage and bandwidth and a higher aEEG score than the small-gestational-age control group (
CONCLUSIONS:OMI can promote the maturation of aEEG background activities, improve neurobehavioral manifestations, and accelerate brain function development in preterm infants.
