Oral sweet solution to prevent pain during neonatal hip examination : a randomized controlled trial

Funding Agency:Research Committee of Region Örebro County
Aim: To determine if oral glucose can have a pain relieving effect during routine hip exams in newborn infants.Methods: In this randomized controlled study 100 newborn infants undergoing the routine physical examination including the potentially painful hip exam were included between March 2016 and April 2017. 50 infants were randomized to water (control) and 50 to oral glucose (intervention) before their examination. Pain was assessed using crying time, Astrid Lindgren and Lund Children's Hospital Pain and Stress Assessment Scale (ALPS‐Neo) and Visual analogue scale (VAS).Results: Total crying time (p=0.06), crying time during the hip examination (p=0.028), ALPS‐Neo (p=0.004) and VAS (p=0.006) (when assessed by the physician) were all significantly decreased in the group of infants receiving glucose. VAS assessment made by the parents did not reach statistical significance (p=0.127).Conclusion: Oral glucose given before the examination has a pain relieving effect during the hip exam in healthy newborn infants.
