Effect of Teté Dance on Breastfeeding Duration in Irritable Infants

Peru150 participantsStarted 2022-11-29

Plain-language summary

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a culturally adapted intervention, the Teté Dance, on the breastfeeding duration of irritable infants. Participants will be mothers of infants experiencing irritability during feeding. The study involves comparing two groups: an intervention group practicing the Teté Dance and a control group receiving standard breastfeeding support. Researchers will assess breastfeeding session duration over a seven-day period to determine whether the Teté Dance helps extend feeding times. Participants in the intervention group will receive guided sessions from trained facilitators in a community setting, while the control group will continue with usual care. By focusing on culturally sensitive practices, this research aims to provide a low-cost, practical solution for improving breastfeeding outcomes in resource-limited settings. Participants will be evaluated for eligibility based on specific criteria, including willingness to participate and the infant's health status. Results from this trial may contribute to global breastfeeding support strategies.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
