Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether fentanyl (a pain medicine given as a nasal spray) can help preterm babies feel less pain during a routine eye exam for retinopathy of prematurity. It is designed for babies who are stable and need this exam as part of their NICU care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at or before 31 weeks and/or weighed less than 1250 grams at birth
- Your baby is scheduled for a routine eye exam for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in the NICU
- Your baby has been stable for the past 24 hours (no emergency breathing help needed)
- Your baby hasn't received strong pain or sedation medicine in the last 24 hours
- Your baby does not have any problem with their nose that would make it hard to give nasal medicine
