Summary
This study looked at whether using supportive postures and holding techniques can help reduce pain in premature infants when a feeding tube is inserted through the nose into the stomach. The researchers planned to include babies born between 32 and 35 weeks, but the study was stopped early with only 4 participants. The goal was to measure pain using special scales and see if having the mother present made a difference.
