Brief Summary  
The proposed study is a Randomised control trial on effectiveness of multisensory intervention with maternal participatory guidance on the health status of preterm neonates at a selected hospital, Mangaluru. Ethical clearance and required permissions for the study will be obtained appropriately. The preterm neonates and their mothers who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the experimental (n=97) and control group (n=97) using simple random sampling technique. Informed consent will be obtained from the mothers. The preterm neonates in the experimental group will receive the multisensory intervention (ATVV stimulation)  from the mothers which will be taught using a video, handout and guidance by the researcher along with routine NICU care. The control group will only receive routine NICU care. The experimental group will receive the multisensory intervention for 10 consecutive days and the observations will be done on the 1st, 5th and 10th days of intervention.The primary outcomes  such as behavioural state, feeding progression and weight gain in preterm neonates will be assessed using the Andersons behavioural state scale, feeding progression scale for preterm neonates, weight record respectively. the gathered data will be subjected to statistical anlysis using repeated measures ANNOVA, Post-hoc analysis and Chi square test.
