TLDR
Nonnutritive sucking, music therapy, and combined NNS and MT had the strongest effect on neonates' TcPao 2 levels and pain behavior; MT alone had the weakest effect on Neonates' heart rate.
Abstract
Objective. To test the effect of nonnutri- tive sucking (NNS), music therapy (MT), and combined NNS and MT (NNS 1 MT), versus no intervention, on heart rate, transcutaneous oxygen (TcPaO2) levels, and pain behavior of neonates in intensive care units having blood taken by a heel-stick procedure. Methodology. A within-subjects, counter-balancing, repeated-measures design conducted in a government- funded hospital in Hong Kong, comparing TcPaO2 levels, heart rate, and pain behavior outcomes in 27 neonates. Results. Repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences in outcomes across all interventions (Wilk's l 5 .142; F (3,27) 5 31.82; h2 5 .47). One-way analysis of variance revealed that the 3 comfort interventions significantly reduced neonates' heart rate (Wilk's l 5 .647; F (2,27) 5 18.93; h2 5 .35), improved their TcPaO2 levels (Wilk's l 5 .481; F (2,27) 5 37.42; h2 5 .51), and reduced their pain behavior (Wilk's l 5 .312; F (2,27) 5 76.42; h2 5 .68). Posthoc scheffe tests revealed that NNS 1 MT had the strongest effect on neonates' TcPaO2 levels and pain be- havior; MT alone had the strongest effect on neonates' heart rate. Conclusions. Health professionals using NNS 1 MT when doing heel-sticks can improve the TcPaO2 levels of neonates and reduce their pain. Using MT alone can improve the heart rate of neonates.

Prevention and Management of Pain in the Neonate: An Update

TL;DR: Every health care facility caring for neonates should implement an effective pain-prevention program, which includes strategies for routinely assessing pain, minimizing the number of painful procedures performed, effectively using pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies for the prevention of pain associated with routine minor procedures, and eliminating pain related to surgery and other major procedures.

Music for pain relief

TL;DR: The 2011 protocol for music for pain relief did not meet the expectations of Cochrane and PaPaS editorial processes and timelines and was withdrawn at July 2015 as there were significant delays in preparing the full review.

Non‐pharmacological management of infant and young child procedural pain

TL;DR: There is evidence that different non-pharmacological interventions can be used with preterms, neonates, and older infants to significantly manage pain behaviors associated with acutely painful procedures.

Music therapy for premature infants and their parents: an integrative review

TL;DR: The research outcomes illustrate that music therapy seems to be beneficial for premature infants, especially in terms of pacification and stabilization, and emphasizes that the premature infants' perceptive faculties and capabilities are actively engaged in music therapy to a greater extent than has been recognized in the literature thus far.

Distraction techniques for children undergoing procedures: a critical review of pediatric research.

TL;DR: A critical assessment of the evidence-based literature on distraction techniques for children's health is provided, recommending greater attention to child preferences and temperament as a means of optimizing outcomes and heightening awareness around child participation in health care decision making.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a conceptual understanding of the material rather than proving results and stress the importance of checking the data, assessing the assumptions, and ensuring adequate sample size so that the results can be generalized.

The development of a tool to assess neonatal pain

TL;DR: The significant difference in NIPS scores over time indicates that the scale provides a measurement of intensity of infant responses to intrusive procedures, and there was no association between gestational age and five-minute Apgars and responsiveness to pain, as measured by change inNIPS scores from before to during the procedure.

The development of a tool to assess neonatal pain.

TL;DR: The Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) as discussed by the authors is a behavioral assessment tool for the measurement of pain in the preterm and full-term neonate, which is used to score behavioral responses before, during, and after each intrusive procedure.

Pacifying Effects of Nonnutritive Sucking on Term and Preterm Neonates During Heelstick Procedures

TL;DR: It is suggested that nonnutritive sucking during heelstick procedures may attenuate behavioral distress in all neonates and physiologic arousal in neonates with less severe postnatal complications.
