“…On studying the premature neonates' weight at discharge, more than half of them gained from 150-200 gms after applying massage therapy, this result was in agreement with Golchin M et al (2010) and Tekgündüz K et al (2014) [8,30] who mentioned that weight gain is the most consistent indicator which is associated with massage therapy in neonates. Also, stable 28-34 weeks neonates whom were massaged for five days, three times/day by a well-trained nurse, had significantly increase their weight than those weren't massaged.…”

Background: Premature neonates are highly vulnerable group of the population. Premature births accounts for the highest mortality rate among infants in the first year of life. Massage therapy as non-invasive procedure that has positive effect on physical and developmental growth of premature neonates including; weight gain, promotion of neurologic development, decreased stress behavior, improved sleep, reduced rates of nosocomial infection and decreased mortality of hospitalized neonates. So, massage therapy is needed for the medical, emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing of premature neonates. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of applying massage therapy on physical, physiological and behavioral states of premature neonates. Methods: Design: It was a quasi-experimental. Subjects and Settings: A purposive sample containing sixty four premature neonates were chosen from the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) in Maternity and Children Hospital, and Heraa General Hospital at Makkah Al-Mukaramah according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Tools: Two tools were used as: Premature Neonates' Massage Observation Sheet and Neonatal Infant's Pain Scale (NIPS) (pre/post applying massage therapy). Results: The mean scores of premature neonates' gestational age, birth weight, and weight at the onset of the study were 34.34 ± 3.85 weeks, 2.09 ± 0.17 kg, and 2.56 ± 0.73 kg respectively. Also, there were statistical significant differences between pre and post application of massage therapy (χ 2 = 23.32, 26.31, and 32.17 at P value ≤ .05) regarding heart rate, temperature and occurrence of apnea respectively. Conclusions: Applying massage therapy had a positive effect on premature neonates' physical, physiological and behavioral states, in addition to increasing their weight and decreasing their length of hospital stay. Recommendations: Emphasize the importance of applying massage therapy that is effective and safe non-invasive intervention in all NICUs as standard of care.

“…Other conditions associated with prematurity that were found in the recent literature on preterm newborn massage include feeding intolerance, jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia) and brain injury. In a quasi-experimental design study on the prevention of feeding intolerance in preterm newborns, abdominal massage was applied to the newborns for 15 minutes twice daily just before feedings for a five day study period (Tekgunduz, Gurol, Apay, & Caner, 2014). By the last day of the study the massage therapy group versus the control group showed greater daily weight gain, less frequent vomiting, less gastric residual volume and lower abdominal circumference (less abdominal distension).…”

Abstract:This review on newborn massage therapy research is based on literature searches of Pubmed, Medline and PsychInfo for studies published during the last six years to update a similar review published in 2010. In that review, massage therapy was noted to lead to greater weight gain and growth in preterm newborns who had received moderate pressure massage. The weight gain was thought to relate to increased vagal activity, gastric motility, insulin and IGF -1 levels resulting from the stimulation of pressure receptors during massage. The current review includes randomized controlled trial studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the effects of massage therapy on both preterm and full -term newborns. Immediate effects have been noted for massage therapy during painful procedures such as the heelstick for preterm newborns and vaccinations for full-term newborns. Although most of the studies have focused on the effects of different oils used in massage therapy to enhance weight gain in preterm newborns, other conditions that have benefited from massage therapy include hyperbilirubinemia, feeding intolerance and brain injury. Mothers of preterm newborns have also experienced less depression, stress and anxiety after massaging their infants. Although very few studies have been conducted with full-term newborns, this review includes research on the effects of massage therapy on sleep patterns in full term newborns and their mothers, on hyperbilirubinemia, pain, colic, cortisol and HIV. Despite the methodological limitations noted for some of these studies including small sample sizes and the need for more randomized controlled trials on a standard moderate pressure massage protocol, the data converge to suggest that newborns benefit both physically and developmentally from being massaged by their mothers during the newborn period and their mothers also benefit when they are providing their newborns massage.

hildbirth mortality rate relatively high in especially in developing countries. Of those high morbidity and mortality rates, preterm births are considered as of the major problems in those countries. According to the reports disseminated by WHO and related organizations, 15 million preterm infants are born too early each year and one million preterm died due to complications. It is worthy to note that the number of the prematurity is unfortunately increasing day by day. 1 J Tradit Complem Med. 2019;2(1):33-41 33 A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le
