Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess if combining oral sucrose with non-nutritive sucking can reduce pain in infants during retinopathy of prematurity screening.
- It involved 64 infants and compared an intervention group given sucrose and a control group given sterile water before eye exams, both receiving topical anaesthetic.
- Results showed that the sucrose group experienced significantly lower pain scores during the first eye examination, indicating potential benefits, but further research is needed to confirm effective pain relief.
