BACKGROUND: Vaccination is a quick, safe, and effective way to avoid contracting hazardous diseases, but it often causes pain and discomfort. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management techniques are used to treat pain. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of breastfeeding, musical therapy, and oral sucrose in infant’s pain relief during pentavalent vaccination. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quasi-experimental posttest-only research design was used. A total of 150 infants were enrolled using the purposive sampling technique (50 in the breastfeeding, 50 in the musical therapy, and 50 in the oral sucrose groups) coming for the first, second, and third doses of pentavalent vaccination. The data were collected using observation and the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS). The results were calculated by descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The study revealed that half of the infants in the breastfeeding group felt severe pain, whereas the majority of infants in the musical therapy and oral sucrose groups felt severe pain during pentavalent vaccination. The median pain score in breastfeeding, musical therapy, and oral sucrose was 4.50, 6, and 7, respectively. Breastfeeding was significantly different from both musical therapy and oral sucrose in terms of pain scores. However, no significant difference was observed between musical therapy and oral sucrose. Overall, the results indicate that breastfeeding had a distinct impact on pain relief during pentavalent vaccination compared with the other interventions, while musical therapy and oral sucrose did not differ significantly in their effectiveness. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that breastfeeding is a safe, reliable, cost-effective, and easily accessible method to relieve an infant’s pain during pentavalent vaccination. It is a simple method to alleviate pain among infants during vaccination.

“…A study showed that the administration of two ml of 24% oral sucrose solution, 2minutes before routine immunization is effective in decreasing maximum immunization pain in infants. The heightened behavioral pain responses observed in infants receiving sterile water reflect greater pain intensity compared with infants who received sucrose [6] . At only once it absolutely was believed that newborns failed to feel pain.…”

Pain is an un-pleasure experience to all or any individual; infants are more sensitive to pain than older children and adults, thanks to their still-developing brains. The pediatric pain experience involves the interaction of physiologic, behavioral and situational factors. The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of sucrose solution on immunization pain among infants. A quantitative quasi experimental research design was conducted among 30 infants by employing a convenience sampling technique and 15 were divided on top of things and experimental group. The demographic data was collected using structured interview questionnaire. The pre-test was done to assess level of immunization pain by visual analogue scale for both the experimental and control group. The experimental group was given sucrose solution to regulate group. A routine care then the post test was done. The study results show that the extent of pain was considerably reduced within the experimental group than the control group within the post test at p< 0.005. This means that sucrose solution is simpler non pharmacological method and price effective's methods to treat immunization pain among infants. The results of the study were that sucrose solution as no side effects and it easy and cozy methods which may be practiced to treat immunization pain.

Background: Pain management in dentistry is inevitable without the use of local anesthesia. However, the agonizing experience of dental injections incorporates a fear of dentist in children. Therefore, the painless administration of local anesthetic agents is crucial in providing optimum dental care. Aim: To compare the effectiveness of four different techniques in minimizing the pain during administration of local anesthesia in 7-11 years old children. Study design: In this split mouth study design, 132 healthy and cooperative children of age 7-11 years, who needed bilateral extraction of primary molars were children were randomly allocated to four different groups: Group I (cryotherapy), Group II (30% sucrose solution), Group III (combination of cryotherapy + sucrose) and Group IV (topical anesthetic agent). The pain perception during administration of local anesthesia (IANB) was recorded before, during and after anesthesia using VAS (visual analogue scale), oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) and pulse rate (PR), SEM (sound, eye, body movement) and FLACC (face, legs, activity, cry, consolability) scale. Results: The mean difference of scores of VAS scale showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in all the groups. The FLACC and SEM scores, pulse rate (PR) and SpO 2 of Group I (popsicle) showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) when compared to Group III (ice-cubes) and Group IV (topical anesthetic). Conclusion: Pain management using a combination of cryotherapy & sweet substance in pediatric patients can be a safe and effective alternative to the conventional topical anesthetic agents in minimizing pain as the sweet taste acts a reward and offers the advantage of providing a positive dental experience for the patient.
