Swaddling or nesting for pain in newborns
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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 trial tests a special positioning device called Swaddy to help hold your baby comfortably and safely in the incubator. It may help support your baby's development and comfort during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit.
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 compares two swaddling methods to see which one helps babies sleep better, cry less, and makes mothers more comfortable. It is for healthy babies aged 1-4 months who cannot roll over yet.
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.
This study tests whether different lengths of gentle massage help late preterm babies feel more comfortable and stay stable while they receive breathing support through a mask (nCPAP). It may help parents learn a calming technique that supports their baby's well-being.
This trial tests whether gentle sensory interventions, like soothing touch, can help stable newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) feel more comfortable and possibly improve their sleep and well-being. It aims to see if these calming techniques are safe and beneficial for babies recovering without needing a breathing machine.
