    Music and intrauterine sounds did not reduce circumcision pain in neonates. Both interventions failed to significantly offset the pain experienced during the procedure, indicating limited comfort effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Pediatric pain management
    • Surgical procedures

    Background:

    • Circumcision is a common neonatal procedure.
    • Pain assessment in neonates is crucial for well-being.
    • Non-pharmacological interventions are explored to manage procedural pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of auditory interventions in mitigating neonatal pain during unanesthetized circumcision.
    • To compare the pain responses of neonates receiving routine care versus those exposed to music or intrauterine sounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty-eight neonates were randomized into three groups: routine care (control), music intervention, and intrauterine sounds intervention.
    • Physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation) were monitored.

  • Neonatal pain was assessed using facial expression analysis via the Maximally Discriminative Facial Movement Coding System.

    • Main Results:

    • Neonates in the control group exhibited elevated heart rates throughout the circumcision.
    • Neonates in the music and intrauterine sound groups also showed heart rate elevations during parts of the procedure.
    • Facial expression analysis indicated significant pain responses across all three groups, with pain being the predominant emotion.

    Conclusions:

    • Auditory interventions, including music and intrauterine sounds, were ineffective in alleviating pain during neonatal circumcision.
    • The study highlights the significant pain associated with unanesthetized circumcision, even with comfort measures.
    • Further research may be needed to explore more effective pain management strategies for this procedure.
