About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Facilited Tucking and Non-nutritive Sucking of Sterile Water to Relieve Preterm Infants From Pain During Heel-stick Procedures.

Preterm infants undergo very frequent painful procedures during neonatal care particularly during the first few days. The support for the pain of the preterm is a priority for nurses and neonatologists. Previous studies showed that non-nutritive sucking combined with sucrose ensures effective pain-relief for preterm (28-32 weeks GA). Unfortunately, the use of sucrose is limited to 4 administrations per day which is insufficient compared to the average of daily painful procedures. So, validation of an effective non-pharmacological intervention to relieve or avoid pain is essential. Facilitated tucking alone has been validated for preterm less than 37 GA during heel stick procedure with the PIPP score but no study looks for the benefit for pain relief of the association of non-nutritive sucking and facilitated tucking during heel stick procedure.

Read the detailed description

After randomization, baby will receive heel stick procedure with either non-nutritive sucking and sterile water or non-nutritive sucking and sterile water combined with facilited tucking. The sequence will be filmed. Evaluation of PIPP and DAN will be done after viewing by 3 independent experts. Each child will receive only one procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. PIPP (Premature Infant Pain Profile)

    Behavioural measure of pain for premature infants.

    Indicators:

    • gestational age
    • behavioural state before painful stimulus
    • change in heart rate during painful stimulus
    • change in oxygen saturation during painful stimulus
    • brow bulge during painful stimulus
    • eye squeeze during painful stimulus
    • nasolabial furrow during painful stimulus

    Measured: 15 sec before to 30 sec after heel-lance procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. DAN (Douleur Aigue Nouveau-né)

    Behavioural measure of pain for premature infants

    Indicators:

    Facial movement Members movement Vocal expression

    Measured: 15 sec before to 3 min after heel-lance procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Facilitated tucking + non-nutritive sucking and non-nutritive sucking in people with Facilitated Tucking and Non Nutritive Sucking, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PIPP (Premature Infant Pain Profile) (time frame: 15 sec before to 30 sec after heel-lance procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Feb 2016.
