Intranasal Breast Milk Therapy in Brain-Injured Newborns (VIDEO)
Caption
Between December 2024 and February 2025, ten newborns with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury were treated with breast milk administered through the nasal passages using a special method at Semmelweis University in Budapest. A study on this novel and promising therapeutic approach was recently published in Pediatric Research, one of the most prestigious scientific journals under the Nature portfolio. The procedure is expected to help mitigate the consequences of brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, and breast milk delivered intranasally may become a safe therapeutic tool for long-term use even in controlled home environments.
