To clarify the possibility of event-related potential (ERP) evoked by heel lance in neonates as an index of pain assessment, knowledge acquired by and problems of the methods used in studies on ERP evoked by heel lance in neonates were systematically reviewed, including knowledge about Aδ and C fibers responding to noxious stimuli and Aβ fibers responding to non-noxious stimuli. Of the 863 reports searched, 19 were selected for the final analysis. The following points were identified as problems for ERP evoked by heel lance in neonates to serve as a pain assessment index: (1) It is possible that the ERP evoked by heel lance reflected the activation of Aβ fibers responding to non-noxious stimuli and not the activation of Aδ or C fibers responding to noxious stimulation; (2) Sample size calculation was presented in few studies, and the number of stimulation trials to obtain an averaged ERP was small. Accordingly, to establish ERP evoked by heel lance as a pain assessment in neonates, it is necessary to perform a study to clarify ERP evoked by Aδ- and C-fiber stimulations accompanied by heel lance in neonates.

Currently, pain assessment using electroencephalogram signals and machine learning methods in clinical studies is of great importance, especially for those who cannot express their pain. Since newborns are among the high-risk group and always experience pain at the beginning of birth, in this research, the severity of newborns has been investigated and evaluated. Other studies related to the annoyance of newborns have used the EEG signal of newborns alone; therefore, in this study, the intensity of newborn pain was measured using the electroencephalogram signal of 107 infants who were stimulated by the heel lance in three levels: no pain, low pain and moderate pain were recorded as a single trial and evaluated.

Background: Recurrent pain experienced by preterm infants during hospitalization is significant due to its short and long-term negative consequences.
Purpose: This randomized controlled trial examined the effect of the mother's own milk odor and white noise on pain management during heel lance in preterms.
Methods: The data were collected in the neonatal intensive care unit and postpartum services between May and October 2022.

Background: Nonpharmacological methods such as white noise and therapeutic touch can be used in pain management in neonates.
Purpose: This randomized controlled study evaluated the effects of white noise and therapeutic touch during heel lance procedures on pain, comfort levels, and physiological parameters in healthy neonates.
Methods: This parallel, randomized controlled study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Service of a regional hospital.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effect of mechanical vibration and the ShotBlocker® device on pain level, crying time, and procedure time during a heel lance in healthy term neonates.
Design And Methods: A total of 105 healthy-term neonates were randomized into three groups: control (n = 36), mechanical vibration (n = 33), and ShotBlocker® (n = 36). The control group underwent a routine heel lance procedure.
Neonatal paw pricking alters adolescent behavior in a sex-dependent manner and sucrose partially remediates the effects.

Neonatal exposure to noxious stimuli such as repeated heel lances can cause behavior changes. In the NICU sucrose given prior to procedures attenuates the immediate behavioral response to noxious stimuli but may not ameliorate the long-term consequences, and treatment with 24 % sucrose can brain structure and behavior in adult rodents. We used a rat model to determine whether paw pricks during the neonatal period alter social interaction and/or paw withdrawal thresholds (PWT) in adolescence, and if 7 % sucrose mitigates these effects.
