Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.)-Cairo University, 2023 Summary: Background: Low-birth-weight infants (LBWIs) are at an increased risk twenty times more likely to die than others, those infants are in more dangers to live normally, due to poor sucking, so it was of great importance to find a way to stimulate sucking. Nonnutritive Sucking Stimulation is recognized for enhancing successful feeding. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of using nonnutritive sucking stimulation on improving the infant suction power and its reflection on the incubation duration for LBWIs. Subjects and procedures: Sixty LBWI infants ranged in age from 30 to 36 gestational weeks of both sexes participated in this study. They were selected from the neonatal intensive care unit of Om El Masryeen and Abo el Reesh hospitals. They were assigned randomly into two groups of equal number representing study and control groups. Study Group in which infants received their medical treatment in addition to a selected physical therapy intervention aiming to improve their nutritive abilities during incubation period while infants in the control group subjected to medical treatment only. Treatment for the study group was conducted three times per day from date of admission until the infant reached grade 4-point ordinal scale in functional oral intake scale (FOIS). Results: There was a statistically significant increase in oral functional intake scale measures post treatment in the control and study groups compared with that of pretreatment with a statistically significant difference in post treatment values in favor to the study group (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Nonnutritive Sucking Stimulation is an effective modality that may be added to the treatment program used in low-birth-weight infants who have weak suckling.Summary: شارك في هذه الدراسة 60 طفلاً ممن يعانون من نقص الوزن تم اختيارهم من وحدة العناية المركزة لحديثي الولادة في مستشفيات أم المصريين وأبو الريش. تم تقسيمهم بشكل عشوائي إلى مجموعتين متساويتين في العدد تمثلان في مجموعة الدراسة والمجموعة الضابطة. بالنسبة للمجموعة الدراسة حيث تلقى فيها الأطفال علاجهم الطبي بالإضافة إلى تدخل علاج طبيعي محدد يهدف إلى تحسين قدراتهم الغذائية خلال فترة الحضانة بينما خضع الرضع في المجموعة الضابطة للعلاج الطبي فقط. تم إجراء برنامج العلاج الطبيعي ثلاث مرات في اليوم من تاريخ القبول حتى وصل الرضيع إلى الدرجة 4 من المقياس الترتيبي في مقياس المدخول الفموي الوظيفي (p> 0.05).

Background: Low-birth-weight infants (LBWIs) are at an increased risk twenty times
more likely to die than others, those infants are in more dangers to live normally, due to
poor sucking, so it was of great importance to find a way to stimulate sucking.
Nonnutritive Sucking Stimulation is recognized for enhancing successful feeding.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of using nonnutritive sucking
stimulation on improving the infant suction power and its reflection on the incubation
duration for LBWIs.
Subjects and procedures: Sixty LBWI infants ranged in age from 30 to 36 gestational
weeks of both sexes participated in this study. They were selected from the neonatal
intensive care unit of Om El Masryeen and Abo el Reesh hospitals. They were assigned
randomly into two groups of equal number representing study and control groups. Study
Group in which infants received their medical treatment in addition to a selected
physical therapy intervention aiming to improve their nutritive abilities during
incubation period while infants in the control group subjected to medical treatment
only. Treatment for the study group was conducted three times per day from date of
admission until the infant reached grade 4-point ordinal scale in functional oral intake
scale (FOIS). Results: There was a statistically significant increase in oral functional
intake scale measures post treatment in the control and study groups compared with that
of pretreatment with a statistically significant difference in post treatment values in
favor to the study group (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Nonnutritive Sucking Stimulation is an effective modality that may be
added to the treatment program used in low-birth-weight infants who have weak
suckling.
