Effect of Kangaroo Mother Care on Energy Utilization in Preterm Neonates
Summary
A new clinical trial (NCT07548229) registered on ClinicalTrials.gov on April 23, 2026, will assess the impact of kangaroo mother care on energy utilization in preterm neonates by measuring urinary levels of xanthine, uric acid, and malondialdehyde. The trial also evaluates the effect of kangaroo mother care on physiological stress parameters and maternal emotional status, comparing the intervention to routine incubation care.

About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
A new clinical trial registration (NCT07548229) was posted to ClinicalTrials.gov under NIH oversight. The study will enroll preterm neonates and compare kangaroo mother care to routine incubation care, measuring urinary biomarkers (xanthine, uric acid, malondialdehyde) as indicators of energy utilization and physiological stress.
Healthcare providers and clinical investigators involved in neonatal care research may find this trial relevant to ongoing work in preterm infant nutrition and developmental care practices. The study's findings could inform evidence-based refinements to kangaroo mother care protocols.
