Abstract：【Objective】 To explore the application value of early oral motor therapy combined with touch care in low birth weight preterm infants. 【Methods】 A total of 70 low birth weight preterm infants treated in the Department of Neonatology of our hospital from December 2021 to December 2024 were selected and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. Preterm infants in the control group received routine nursing combined with touch care, while the observation group was given additional early oral motor therapy on the basis of the control group, with a 3-week intervention period. The oral motor function [Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS) score], nutritional status [albumin (ALB), serum prealbumin (PA)] and weight gain of preterm infants in the two groups were compared before nursing and after 3 weeks of nursing. 【Results】 After 3 weeks of intervention, the normal pattern score of NOMAS in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while the scores of disorder pattern and dysfunction pattern were lower (P<0.05). The levels of ALB and PA in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after 3 weeks of nursing (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the weight of preterm infants at the initiation of oral feeding between the two groups (P>0.05); the weights of infants in the observation group at full oral feeding and discharge were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The combination of early oral motor therapy and touch care applied to low birth weight preterm infants can significantly improve their oral motor function and nutritional status, and promote weight gain of preterm infants.
