The Effects of Multimodal Sensory Interventions on the Behavioral States and Feeding Outcomes in Preterm Infants

TKS and a combined oral and another unimodal stimulation may enhance feeding outcomes, including weight gain, feeding volume, length of stay, and transition time. The potential effects on behavioral states remain unclear. More high-quality studies are necessary to further validate the effects of variable forms of interventions on behavioral states and feeding outcomes.
