“…This highlights once more the question of why we see such differences in the hemodynamic changes in our group of preterm-born neonates, and whether it will generally be possible to define a typical HR for different regions in the cortex of the developing brain. Previously published fNIRS studies investigating HRs of preterm-born neonates [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] did not perform a subgroup analysis. Instead, a group average was calculated.…”

“…8, performing the fNIRS measurement with an advanced multidistance measurement technique (SCMD) enables the determination of the hemodynamic changes inside the neonate's brain while minimizing possible influences from the extracerebral tissue compartment. Previous fNIRS studies in preterm-born neonates used single-distance 35,36,39,40,43 and multidistance 38,42,68 measurements. Owing to the fact that changes in scalp blood flow can interfere with fNIRS measurements, 17,69 the application of multidistance fNIRS measurements is warranted for fNIRS studies.…”

Cerebral hemodynamic responses in preterm-born neonates to visual stimulation: classification according to subgroups and analysis of frontotemporal–occipital functional connectivity

How neurovascular coupling develops in preterm-born neonates has been largely neglected in scientific research. We measured visually evoked (flicker light) hemodynamic responses (HRs) in preterm-born neonates (n ¼ 25, gestational age: 31.71 AE 3.37 weeks, postnatal age: 25.48 AE 23.94 days) at the visual cortex (VC) and left frontotemporal lobe (FTL) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging. We found that the HR characteristics show a large intersubject variability but could be classified into three groups according to the changes of oxyhemoglobin concentration at the VC [(A) increase, (B) decrease, or (C) inconclusive]. In groups A and B, the HRs at the left FTL were correlated with those at the VC, indicating the presence of a frontotemporal-occipital functional connectivity. Neonates in group A had a higher weight at measurement compared to those in group B, and had the lowest baseline total hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit compared to group C. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fNIRS study showing (1) that the HRs of preterm-born neonates need to be classified into subgroups, (2) that the subgroups differed in terms of weight at measurement, and (3) that HRs can be observed also at the FTL during visual stimulation. These findings add insights into how neurovascular coupling develops in preterm-born neonates.

“…Plus généralement, le toucher humain doux semble réduire les réponses physiologiques et comportementales à la douleur aiguë chez des enfants prématurés âgés de 27 à 37 semaines d'âge gestationnel [43]. L'atténuation de l'activation cérébrale lors d'une ponction sanguine a également été observée en utilisant le toucher thérapeutique [44]. La thérapie par le massage peut également agir comme un stimulus apaisant ou un distracteur.…”

La perception tactile et ses implications dans la prise en charge néonatale

Le défi des soins en néonatalogie est de surmonter la discontinuité transnatale (c'est-à-dire entre les périodes prénatale et néonatale) qui est accentuée lors d'une naissance prématurée et a fortiori source de risques. Pour ce faire, des interventions thérapeutiques sont proposées dans les services de néonatologie. Elles impliquent fréquemment des stimulations sensorielles tactiles fondées sur l'importance de cette modalité pour le développement physique et psychologique, le bien-être et le lien d'attachement du nouveau-né humain. Pourtant, en dépit du développement précoce de la modalité tactile et de son rôle critique dans les interactions avec l'environnement, nous manquons encore de connaissances fondamentales pour comprendre son fonctionnement et ses implications à long terme sur le développement moteur, émotionnel, cognitif et social. Ces connaissances sont attendues des praticiens qui souhaitent proposer des interventions thérapeutiques novatrices et adaptées aux capacités de ces nouveau-nés. Ainsi, nous proposons de tirer parti des compétences tactiles précoces des nouveau-nés prématurés, telles que leurs réponses d'orientation, pour caractériser les interactions entre la perception tactile, les soins de développement et les méthodes de prise en charge de la douleur. L'évaluation et la compréhension de ces interactions sont en effet nécessaires pour envisager des stimulations sensorielles tactiles préventives et thérapeutiques pour les soins néonatals, qui respectent l'équilibre entre les avantages à court terme et les conséquences à long terme.

“…It may encompass a wide variety of techniques or modalities including chiropractic manual therapy, light touch (hold and release), moderate touch or deeper pressure involving treatment of trigger points, myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques or massage ( 39 ). Touch is the first sense to develop in humans and therapeutic touch therapy has been known and used in health care since the time of Hippocrates or before (~460 to 370 BC) and continues to be in use for pain control in modern medicine for even premature neonates ( 40 ). Significant benefits of chiropractic manual therapy for pain control have been documented in at least one meta-analysis ( 41 ).…”

Excessive crying (or infant colic) is a common pain syndrome of infancy without any specific known aetiology or effective management. Many cases result in long-term poor sleep, behavioral problems and parental stress. The biomechanical aspects of this condition lack adequate investigation despite its strong link with assisted and/or difficult births. The present review focused on the current trends in the management of this mal-musculoskeletal health of infants associated with the condition of excessive crying. In addition, the risk factors associated with therapeutic procedures used to manage the above conditions were also discussed.
