Noninvasive pain reduction methods like music and pacifiers had minimal impact on neonate pain during circumcision. Most physiological measures remained abnormal across all intervention groups, indicating limited effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Pain Management
  • Neonatal Care

Background:

  • Circumcision is a common neonatal procedure often performed without anesthesia.
  • Pain management in neonates is crucial for their well-being and long-term health.
  • Noninvasive interventions are sought to reduce procedural pain in infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive pain reduction interventions during neonatal circumcision.
  • To compare the effects of classical music, intrauterine sounds, and pacifiers on pain indicators.

Main Methods:

  • 121 neonates undergoing unanesthetized circumcision were randomly assigned to six groups: music, intrauterine sounds, pacifier, combined interventions, or control.
  • Physiological variables (heart rate, blood pressure, transcutaneous oxygen) and behavioral state were monitored during 14 circumcision steps.

Main Results:

  • A high percentage of abnormal physiological readings were observed across all groups (e.g., 78% systolic blood pressure, 81% transcutaneous oxygen).
  • Few significant differences in pain indicators were found between the intervention groups and the control group.
  • Systolic and diastolic blood pressures showed significant differences between groups in only two steps, while transcutaneous oxygen differed in six steps.

Conclusions:

  • Noninvasive pain reduction interventions, including music and pacifiers, demonstrated limited effectiveness in mitigating pain during neonatal circumcision.
  • Further research is needed to identify more effective pain management strategies for neonates undergoing painful procedures.
