Official title
The Effect of Maternal Scent on Sleep Wake States, Brain Maturation, and Heart Rate Variability: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will be a prospective, randomized controlled study, which aims to determine if a maternal scent intervention improves the sleep wake states, brain maturation, and heart rate variability in premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Infants will be randomized to either 24 hours of exposure to maternal scent or standard of care. Sleep wake states will be obtained using behavioral coding. Brain maturation will be measured using several electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters. Heart rate variability will be collected as part of vital sign collection.
