| Popis: | Aim Noninvasive electrical stimulation at acupuncture points (NESAP) for analgesia is used in children, but has not been widely studied in neonates. The purpose of this study was to determine if NESAP alone or in combination with sucrose relieved heelstick pain in neonates. Methods Term neonates (n=162) receiving routine heelsticks for newborn screening were enrolled following parental consent. All infants received facilitated tucking and nonnutritive sucking. Neonates were randomized to standard care, sucrose, NESAP, or sucrose plus NESAP. NESAP (3.5 mA, 10 Hz) or sham was administered over 4 acupuncture points. The Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), heart rate variability (HRV), and salivary cortisol were used to measure heelstick pain. Results PIPP scores among all 4 treatment groups increased during heelstick,F (9,119) =1.95, p 0.05, and NESAP therapy had no significant effect on PIPP scores. However, PIPP scores from baseline to heelstick increased the most in the two groups not receiving sucrose (p |
