    In this study, the type of research conducted was a systematic review, consisting of 10 scientific articles found on the effectiveness of therapeutic massage to increase weight in preterm newborns; of these, according to the GRADE classification, 8 studies have high-quality evidence and 2 have moderate-quality evidence. The countries of origin of the evidence were the United States (60%), Brazil (10%), Chile (10%), Iran (10%), and Peru (10%). The following databases were used: Scielo, Medline, Pubmed, all of which recommend analyzing the studies based on the connector scale to determine their strength and quality. Results: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 90% (9/10) show that the use of therapeutic massage in preterm newborns is effective in increasing weight, while 10% of the studies conclude that therapeutic massage does not promote weight gain in this population. Conclusion: Based on the reviewed evidence, we can conclude that therapeutic massage is effective in increasing the weight of preterm newborns.
