Intervention  ORO MOTOR STIMULATION  INTRAORAL STIMULATION EXTRAORAL STIMULATION COMBINED STIMULATION 
Intervention  oromotor intervention  INTRAORAL OMS 6 mins Upper gum for 1 min with minimum 5 repetitions 1. Place finger at the centre of the gum. With firm sustained pressure slowly move the finger over the gum towards the cheek and back of the jaw. 2. Return to the centre of the mouth. 3. Repeat for opposite side. Lower gum for 1 min with minimum 5 repetitions)- 1. Place finger at the centre of the gum. With firm sustained pressure slowly move toward the back of the mouth. 2. Return to the centre of the mouth. 3. Repeat for opposite side Internal cheek for 1 min with minimum 5 repetitions 1. Place finger at the centre of the cheek. With slight stretch over the cheek perform circular motions clockwise and anticlockwise. Lateral border of the tongue 2 times each side for 1 min 1. Place finger at lateral border of the tongue between the side blade of the tongue and the lower gum. 2. Move the finger toward midline, pushing the tongue towards the opposite direction. Midblade of the tongue 1 min 1. Place index at the centre of the mouth over the centre blade of the tongue. 2. Give firm sustained gentle downward pressure into to the tongue. Elicit a suck 1 min-place finger at the midline,centre of the palate ,gently stroke the palate to elicit a suck. EXTRAORAL OMS 5 mins Cheeks-gently tap the cheeks with the index finger 8 times each cheek or 1 min 1. Place index finger at the base of the nose. 2. Compress the tissue, move finger toward the ear, then down and toward the corner of the lip i.e. C pattern. 3. Repeat for other side. for 1 min with minimum 5 repetitions Upper lip-for 1 min with minimum 5 repetitions 1. Place index finger at the corner of the upper lip. 2. Compress the tissue. 3. Move the finger away in a circular motion, from the corner toward the centre and to the other corner. Lower lip-for 1 min with minimum 5 repetitions 1. Place index finger at the corner of lower lip. 2. Compress the tissue. 3. Move the finger away in a circular motion from the corner toward the centre and to the other corner Philtrum and mentolabial sulcus -1 min i.e.30 seconds each lip Intermittent pressure with the fingertip from the corners of the mouth to the centre of the philtrum and mentolabial sulcus. 5seconds hold for 5 repetition or 1 min Sustained gentle intermittent pressure over the philtrum and the mentolabial sulcus while causing approximation of the lips. COMBINED OMS 11mins This will include the combination of both intraoral and extraoral stimulation.

Brief Summary   This study is focused on comparing the outcomes of three different approaches to oromotor stimulation (OMS) in preterm infants: internal OMS, which involves manipulative actions within the mouth; external OMS, which involves manipulative actions outside the mouth; and combined OMS, which utilizes a combination of both techniques. The objective is to determine whether any of these approaches are equally effective in enhancing sucking and feeding abilities in preterm infants. If it is found that each protocol yields comparable results, it would lead to a significant reduction in the time required for treatment while still providing substantial benefits for the child’s feeding development. This would mean that clinicians could choose the most efficient OMS approach without compromising the quality of care, ultimately resulting in better outcomes for preterm infants.
