Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Feasibility and acceptability of the NeuroN-QI and the study procedures as assessed by a self-completed questionnaire (mothers) and a logbook (RA)
Secondary outcome measures
Acceptability of the NeuroN-QI as assessed by a self-completed questionnaire
Estimated effects of NeuroN-QI on infants' neurodevelopment as assessed using the Assessment of Preterm Infants Behavior (APIB)
Estimated effects of NeuroN-QI on infants' neurodevelopment as assessed using the General Movements Assessment (GMA)

NeuroN-QI Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ExperimentalExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Each SSC session will last 2-hr during the day including a 15-min of auditory stimulation with maternal voice and controlled levels of NICU light and noise. The 2-hr SSC will be followed by a 1-hr quiet period where infants will rest in their incubator/crib with a pad immersed with their mother breast milk for olfactory stimulation and where the control of light and noise levels will be continued. The NeuroN-QI will be done 4 times/wk for each dyad.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Mothers-infant dyads will do 4 SSC/wk. During these sessions, no attempt will be made by the RA to control the light and noise levels nor to encourage auditory stimulation. The SSC periods will not be followed by a quiet period nor olfactory stimulation.
