No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Despite the fact that oral sucrose is the most frequently studied non-pharmacological intervention for procedural pain relief in infants, there is a paucity of data on the minimal effective dose. The aim of this study is to find the minimal effective dose of sucrose to reduce pain during a single venous blood sampling procedure.
