Summary
The aim of this randomized controlled study with crossover design is to examine the
effectiveness of mother-driven interventions, skin-to-skin contact (SSC) and recorded
mother's heartbeats as sound and vibration (MHB), compared to oral glucose in relieving
neonatal acute pain related to heel lance as a painful procedure.
The effectiveness of interventions will be assessed using validated pain scales (PIPP-R and
NIAPAS), sensory cortex activation (near-infrared spectroscopy, NIRS), muscle tension (EMG)
and changes in physiological indicators (oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate).
The secondary objectives will include evaluating the effectiveness of interventions in
relation to infant recovery, evaluating the use of EMG and NIRS monitoring in neonatal pain
assessment compared to pain scales, the assessment of neonatal glymphatic system by NIRS and
the mother's view of interventions and experience of participation.
