No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Premature infants born between 28 and 33 weeks' gestation often have significant brain damage. Brain damage can be caused by the much greater stimulation the infant receives in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as compared to the mother's womb. This study will test the effectiveness of specialized and individualized NICU developmental care in preventing brain damage.
