PURPOSE To conduct an evidence-based systematic review and provide an estimate of the effects of oral motor interventions (OMIs) on feeding/swallowing outcomes (both physiological and functional) and pulmonary health in preterm infants. METHOD A systematic search of the literature published from 1960 to 2007 was conducted. Articles meeting the selection criteria were appraised by 2 reviewers and vetted by a 3rd for methodological quality. RESULTS Twelve studies were included and focused on…

Best Practices for Oral Motor Stimulation to Improve Oral Feeding in Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review
  • Patti Calk

  • 2019
TLDR
Strong evidence supports the use of peri-oral and intra-oral stimulation for pre-feeding readiness and preparation to promote successful oral feeding in preterm infants.
Evidence-Based Systematic Review: Effects of Oral Sensory-Motor Treatment on Swallowing in Adults
Purpose: To systematically review and examine the state and quality of the evidence for the use of oral sensory-motor treatment (OSMT) in adults to improve swallowing physiology, pulmonary health,…
Evidence to support treatment options for children with swallowing and feeding disorders: A systematic review.
TLDR
Limited high quality research articles are identified that establish the efficacy and benefit of joint nutrition and behavior intervention programs and systematic desensitization and operant conditioning behavioral therapy approaches to improve functional feeding and swallowing outcomes in children.
The Effectiveness of Oral Sensorimotor Intervention in Children with Feeding Disorders
TLDR
There is a need for further studies that could serve as the basis for strong recommendations relating to oral sensorimotor interventions for children with feeding and swallowing disorders along with the input of the multidisciplinary team.
Oral Motor Intervention Improved the Oral Feeding in Preterm Infants
TLDR
With present evidences, OMI can be as an alternative to improve the condition of transition time, length of hospital stays, feeding efficiency, and intake of milk in preterm infants, but the pooled results may be impaired due to low quality included, and thus, well-designed and large RCTs were needed to further established effects.
The effect of non-nutritive sucking combined with oral motor stimulation and oral support on feeding performance in premature infants: A single-blind randomized-clinical trial.
TLDR
The current study showed that the combined intervention including NNS, oral motor stimulation, and oral support significantly improved the feeding performance in PIs.
The effects of swallowing exercise and non-nutritive sucking exercise on oral feeding readiness in preterm infants: A randomized controlled trial.
Preterm newborn readiness for oral feeding: systematic review and meta-analysis.
TLDR
The importance of strategies for stimulation of sensory-motor-oral system to decrease the period of transition to full oral feeding system is noted.
Motor Learning Feeding Interventions for Infants at Risk of Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review
TLDR
The best available evidence collectively demonstrated a very weak positive effect for motor learning-based interventions for feeding difficulties in infants with, or at risk of, CP.
Effect of Unimodal and Multimodal Sensorimotor Interventions on Oral Feeding Outcomes in Preterm Infants: An Evidence-Based Systematic Review
TLDR
Evidence on whether multimodal approaches can lead to better oral feeding outcomes than a unimodal approach was insufficient and the heterogeneity in the studies made it difficult to make any firm conclusions about the effects of sensorimotor interventions on feeding outcomes.

Oral Feeding in the Preterm Infant
TLDR
This review examines information gathered from bottle feeding because more extensive research has been conducted on bottle feeding than on breastfeeding and the potential short- and long-term consequences of an infant’s oral feeding aversion for the patient, family, and health professional.
Multiple Factors Related to Bottle-Feeding Performance in Preterm Infants
TLDR
Multiple factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic, play a role in determining an infant's bottle-feeding performance, and the presently employed conventional criteria, oral motor skills, feeding practice, and feeding techniques also contribute to infants' feeding performance.

TLDR
The results of the study suggest that occupational therapy can improve the rate of development of sucking in the premature neonate, however, future research needs to be done to isolate the specific techniques of treatment that produce positive changes.
Non-nutritive sucking for promoting physiologic stability and nutrition in preterm infants.
TLDR
NNS was found to decrease significantly the length of hospital stay in preterm infants receiving a NNS intervention, and did not reveal a consistent benefit of NNS with respect to other major clinical variables.
Assessment of sensorial oral stimulation in infants with suck feeding disabilities
TLDR
Oral sensorial and motor stimulation normalise oral motor reflexes, diminish the clinical abnormal sucking signs and increase milk volumes ingested for nursing.
Evidence-based feeding guidelines for very low-birth-weight infants.
TLDR
This project focused on the development of a research-based enteral feeding CPG for infants of < 1,500 g, based on an extensive literature review and developed through a process of consensus decision making by a team of clinical researchers.
An Evidence-Based Guideline for Introducing Oral Feeding to Healthy Preterm Infants
TLDR
Both the relevant knowledge about neurodevelopment and the semidemand feeding method itself are discussed, which combines the use of nonnutritive sucking to promote awake behavior for feeding, use of behavioral assessment to identify readiness for feed, and systematic observation of and response to infant behavior cues to regulate frequency, length, and volume of oral feedings.
A Pilot Study of Oral-Motor Dysfunction in “At-Risk” Infants
TLDR
Oral-motor performance tended to be disorganized or dysfunctional in infants with intraventricular hemorrhage and asphyxia neonatorum, and those infants with brain insults showed slower sucking rates in NNS, and the degree of slowing of the rate when switched to NS was less in these higher-risk infants.
Early introduction of oral feeding in preterm infants.
TLDR
Early introduction of oral feeding accelerates the transition time from tube to all oral feeding, but it also provides practice opportunities that enhance the oral motor skills necessary for safe and successful feeding.
