Summary
This study tested whether a mother's scent and a soft, knitted octopus toy could reduce pain in newborns who had birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) and were receiving cooling treatment. 45 full-term babies in intensive care took part. Researchers measured pain using a special scale. The goal was to find a simple, drug-free way to comfort these fragile infants.
