Maternal Comfort for Pain Relief During Blood Draw in Preemies
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a mother's comforting actions (like holding, talking, or breastfeeding) can reduce pain in very premature babies during a blood draw. It may help your baby feel less pain without extra medicine.
