Overview

Randomized trial evaluates oral motor interventions improving feeding outcomes in preterm infants, suggesting clinical relevance.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of oral motor interventions on feeding and oral motor outcomes in preterm infants.
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis conducted according to PRISMA guidelines.
  • Ten randomized controlled trials published from 2014 to 2024 included.
  • Studies assessed structured oral motor interventions against routine care for feeding difficulties.
  • Oral motor interventions improved feeding readiness and sucking-swallowing coordination compared to routine care.
  • Interventions reduced the time to achieve independent oral feeding, demonstrating consistent benefits.
  • The certainty of evidence ranged from low to moderate due to methodological variability and bias.
