Nonpharmacological Pain Management for Premature Neonates in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Preterm neonates are at higher risk of cumulative procedural pain at a crucial point in brain development. Several procedures performed in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) have ineffective or absent pain management protocols. Nonpharmacological interventions are simple to implement and cost‐efficient.
