RESUMO

UNLABELLED: This crossover study showed that non-nutritive sucking, provided with a pacifier in 30 preterm infants, had no effect on acid and nonacid gastro-esophageal reflux evaluated by esophageal pH-impedance, and thus may be reasonably used in preterm neonates with symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02023216.
