Mother's touch could ease pain for tiniest patients

NCT ID NCT03939169

Summary

This study tested whether specific holding techniques could reduce pain in premature babies during a common but painful procedure: inserting a feeding tube through the nose. When the mother was present, skin-to-skin contact was used. When she wasn't, a special two-person 'four hands' holding technique was tried. The goal was to find drug-free ways to make this necessary procedure more comfortable for fragile newborns.
