Summary

One of the most common and painful procedures in newborns is taking a capillary blood sample from the heel. This basic procedure, widely used in early health assessments, particularly in newborn screening tests, can cause mild to moderate pain.While both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are used in pain management in newborns, the primary goal is to minimize and prevent painful stimuli as much as possible. Non-pharmacological methods are preferred in newborn care because they have no side effects, are easy to apply, low-cost, and caregiver-friendly.
