Skin Response Monitoring in Ventilated Premature Babies
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study measures how a premature baby's skin responds to stress while on a breathing machine. Researchers want to understand if skin conductance (electrical activity of the skin) is a good way to detect pain and discomfort in ventilated babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is currently on a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine)
- Your baby does not have a facial malformation or neuromuscular condition that prevents regular pain assessment
- Your baby does not have other serious painful conditions that would interfere with the study

This study tests whether different types of gentle touch can lessen pain and stress signals when preterm babies need suction through a breathing tube. If it helps, it could offer a comforting, non-medicine way to improve comfort during this procedure.
This study tests whether a special care program including skin-to-skin contact and storytelling helps preterm babies feel more comfortable, grow better, and learn to feed by mouth sooner. It compares this extra care to the usual hospital care.
This trial tests how skin-to-skin contact affects pain and brain activity in premature babies during a routine heel prick. It may help find better ways to manage pain for infants in the NICU.
This study looks at how holding your baby skin-to-skin affects their health and development, for babies born at 32 weeks or earlier.
This study tests a soft silicone sensor to protect the delicate skin of moderately premature babies while they are monitored in the hospital. If your baby was born a few weeks early and needs hospital care, this sensor might help prevent skin irritation.
This study tests whether “kangaroo care” (skin-to-skin holding) affects how test weights are done for preterm babies in the NICU. It may help staff get more accurate weights and support parents during care.
