Prevention of the Procedural Pain in the Newborn

Breastfeeding Versus Saccharose for Prevention of the Procedural Pain in the Newborn

The aim of this study is to compare the impact of two non-medicinal strategies: the breast-feeding and saccharose to measure effects in cerebral cortex during pain using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

Many studies of non-medicinal treatments(saccharose and breast-feeding)show a decrease of expression of pain in newborn. However Slater and al questioned these practices due to the absence of modification of the cerebral answer measured by evoked potential.
