Efficacy of a Physiotherapy Treatment in Newborns With Breastfeeding Difficulties
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Myofunctional therapy for Breastfeeding and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this randomized, single-blind clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of two treatments (Myofunctional Therapy and breastfeeding sessions) in infants who have difficulty breastfeeding during the first week of life. The main questions to be answered are: * Is breastfeeding improved with this type of intervention? * What type of intervention is better? * After carrying out these interventions, does the baby need to undergo surgery if it presents a sublingual frenulum? Participants must be infants who are one week old and who have been diagnosed with ankyloglossia through the Hazelbaker Scale. They will be randomly distributed into the two intervention groups and after one month of treatment, they will be assessed again using the same scale. The researchers will compare the results between these two groups in order to verify the best intervention.
