NCT ID NCT07479589
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 120 full-term newborns to see if placing them in different positions (on their back, side, or stomach) during a heel stick blood test could lower their pain and improve comfort. Researchers measured pain using standard scales and checked heart rate and oxygen levels. The goal was to find a simple, drug-free way to make this common procedure less stressful for babies.
