Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Massage therapy will result in a significant reduction in bilirubin levels and growth promotion. More effective massage therapy will be developed against the existing phototherapy protocol. The findings could support the inclusion of massage as a complementary therapy in neonatal jaundice management protocols. Timepoint: 1 week. | — |
