Randomized controlled clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effects of the "Premature infant oral motor intervention" method on the oral feeding skills of the premature infants.
Numerous evidences emerge from the literature review on the usefulness of the PIOMI method to improve food skills in the premature infant. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of the PIOMI method by adding the gustatory stimulation to the original protocol.
