Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sucrose 24% for pain prevention on preterm infants. Our hypothesis is that repeated doses of sucrose 24%, given prior to painful procedure,do not impair neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Its an Interventional Study That Will Evaluate the Effect of Different Doses of Sucrose 24% on Neurodevelopmental Outcome of Preterm Infants

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sucrose 24% for pain prevention on preterm infants. Our hypothesis is that repeated doses of sucrose 24%, given prior to painful procedure,do not impair neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants

Read the detailed description

preterm infants born at 27-33 weeks gestational age at Sheba Medical Center will be recruited for this study. Prior to invasive procedure infants will be treated with pacifier and swaddling as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Canadian Pediatric Society.

Group 1.Will be treated with Sucrose 24% 0.1-0.5ml on the anterior pat of the tongue 1-3 min prior to invasive procedure.

Group 2. Similar to group 1 but breast milk or formula will replace Sucrose.

Number of invasive procedures/day will be documented

General Movements by Prechtel will be used for developmental assessment at 2,4,6 weeks after birth and at 14-16 weeks corrected age

Griffiths developmental scales (GMDS) will be used at 40 weeks, 14-16 weeks corrected age, and 3-6 month corrected age

  • multiple doses of sucroseDrug

    Also called sucrose 24%

    unlimited number of doses par day- current status in our NICU

  • Formula or breast milkDrug

    Also called sucrose 24%

    1-3 minutes prior to every painful procedure, breast milk or formula 0.5-1 ml will be given on the anterior part of the tongue

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. neurodevelopmental outcomes

    Griffith mental developmental scaled (gross and fine motor, language, performance, social) and General movements by Prechtel

    Measured: at 6 month corrected age

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. neurodevelopment

    Griffith mental developmental scaled (gross and fine motor, language, performance, social) and General movements by Prechtel

    Measured: at 15 weeks corrected age
