Swaddling or nesting for pain in newborns
This study tests if gently wrapping (swaddling) or positioning (nesting) your baby helps reduce pain and stress while they are on breathing support. It's for newborns who are breathing fast but otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born after 35 weeks and weighed more than 4.4 pounds (2000 grams) at birth.
- Your baby needs a special breathing machine (nasal CPAP or non-invasive ventilator) to help them breathe.
- You (the parent) agree to let your baby be part of this study.
- Your baby has a condition called 'transient tachypnea of the newborn' – fast breathing that usually goes away with time.
- The mother didn't take steroid or narcotic medications during pregnancy, and your baby doesn't have other serious medical issues like infections, birth defects, or severe low calcium levels.

This study tests whether gentle massage can help newborns who are on nasal CPAP (a breathing support machine). If your baby is stable, born at 34 weeks or later, and started CPAP in the last 24 hours, this trial may be an option for you.
This trial tests a special positioning device called Swaddy for very small newborns (under 1500 grams, about 3.3 pounds) who are in an incubator. The goal is to see if Swaddy helps with comfort and development.
This study tests whether gentle swaddling or a technique called 'facilitated tucking' (holding the baby in a curled, comfortable position) helps premature babies feel more comfortable while they are on nasal CPAP breathing support. The goal is to see if these simple comfort measures can reduce stress and improve care for late preterm infants.
This study looks at ways to comfort healthy newborns during a routine heel prick blood test (done as standard newborn screening). Researchers will test different soothing techniques to see which works best to reduce baby's stress and pain during this quick procedure.
This study tests whether placing preterm babies in a 'hammock' or 'nesting' position helps them feel more comfortable and stable in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It is for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks who are healthy enough not to need oxygen or a breathing machine.
This study tests whether placing newborns in a cozy 'nest' during their first shot after a cesarean birth reduces pain and stress and improves breastfeeding. It may help your baby feel more comfortable and support a good start to breastfeeding.
