An interventional study of Pacifier and White Noise Therapy and pacifier therapy in Pain, sponsored by Yuksek Ihtisas University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 1 Day to 28 Days. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-09-24.

The study was conducted to determine the effect of white noise and pacifier applications on pain and crying time during painful interventions in newborns who underwent surgery
Newborns most often experience painful procedures such as heel blood collection and peripheral venous catheter placement in the neonatal intensive care unit. Exposure to pain early in life has even been shown to increase the risk of developing problems (chronic pain, anxiety, and depressive disorders) in adulthood. This result implies that newborn or child pain should be adequately managed. Thus, pain in newborns or children should be prevented before it occurs, and if it cannot be prevented, it should be determined in the early period and the pain should be alleviated. Managing this pain in newborns should be one of the primary duties of newborn nurses. The first and most important determinant in relieving pain is determining the severity of pain, and non-pharmacological or pharmacological methods should be preferred according to the severity of the pain. Many non-pharmacological methods are used to manage pain that may occur in interventional procedures. Some of these methods are: giving sugar solution, kangaroo care, positioning (Kaşıkçıoğlu, 2014), breast milk and breastfeeding and swaddling, listening to music, lullaby. Two other effective methods are non-nutritive suction and white noise. As a result of studies, it was proven that the use of multiple non-pharmacological methods together was much more effective in reducing pain. Within the scope of the research, no research was found in the literature regarding which application - white noise or pacifier - could be more effective. By examining this information, the effects of the two effective methods on pain management and crying time in newborns in the postoperative period were examined in this study.

Birth weight over 1500 grams
Exclusion Criteria:
Being intubated
In this group, infants will receive pacifier and white noise therapy. The white noise will be used to enhance the quality of sleep and reduce restlessness in infants. During the intervention, participants will receive pacifiers, and white noise will be continuously administered.
Other: Pacifier and White Noise Therapy
In this group, infants will receive only pacifier therapy. The aim is to provide comfort and support for sleep through the use of pacifiers. White noise will not be utilized in this group. This intervention focuses solely on assessing the effects of pacifier use without any additional auditory stimuli
Other: pacifier therapy
Infants will receive both pacifier and white noise therapy to enhance sleep quality and reduce restlessness
Infants will receive pacifier therapy to enhance sleep quality and reduce restlessness
1. Neonatal Pain Scale (NIPS
The factors evaluated in the newborn baby pain scale are facial expression, arms, legs, oxygen saturation, arousal, breathing pattern, crying, heart rate. It can be preferred in post-operative pain. It can be used in procedural pain. It has a total of 8 parameters. The highest score can be given is 7. 0 points = no pain, 1-2 points = mild pain, 3-4 points = moderate pain, \>4 points = severe pain is accepted.

Ran from Mar 2022 to primary completion in Sep 2022, 6 months.
Of 3,731 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pain, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23. This study's 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,830 studies reached it within 10 months; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 23.
