An interventional study of Sucrose in Pain, Infant, Newborn and Diabetes, sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children. Status unknown at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 1 Day to 3 Days. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2010-03-15.
Sponsored by The Hospital for Sick Children · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of sugar water to relieve pain in newborn infants during painful blood tests and injections. Infants of diabetic mothers who receive repeated blood tests will be compared to infants of healthy mothers who receive routine painful procedures.
We believe that administration of sucrose analgesia for every painful cutaneous procedure performed after delivery will result in less pain during the newborn infant screening test.
