5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Osteopathic manipulative treatment has been showed to reduce LOS in premature infants. Despite the clinical effectiveness, lack of data and information on the physiological underpinning effects during the treatment has been revealed. The aim of the study is to explore the immediate physiological effects of osteopathic treatment on premature infants
