Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the efficacy of 10% Dextrose and Expressed breast milk on relieving procedural pain in neonates assessed by Premature Infant Pain Profile. Score less than 6 is mild and score more than 12 is moderate to severe pain.Timepoint: o , 30 , 60 seconds

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Through this research the procedural pain in neonates is being reduced by giving 10% dextrose and Expressed Breast Milk might decrease the possible neurodevelopmental damage produced due to pain. This would also help us in formulating protocols for reducing procedural pain in our NICU in future. Timepoint: 4months
