“…The mean pain scores of NIPS in our study during and after the procedure were lower than the mean scores during and after the procedure in similar studies (U gurlu, 2011;Yılmaz, 2018). This difference is thought to be because the massage application in our study, unlike other studies, was performed by the mothers of the newborn.…”

“…It was determined in the study by U gurlu (2011) that newborns who received a leg massage before vaccination had lower NIPS scores during and after the procedure compared to the control group. In another study, the NIPS pain score was found to be lower in newborns who were applied foot reflexology before the heel lance procedure compared to the control group (Yılmaz, 2018). In the study of Abasi, Salari, Rasahidi, and Taherpour (2011), the NIPS pain scores of the newborns whose extremities were massaged before vaccination were lower than the newborns in the control group.…”

Introduction: In addition to pharmacological methods, non-pharmacological methods can also be used for reducing pain and increasing comfort during invasive procedures in newborn babies. This study was conducted to determine the effect on pain level and comfort of foot massages given by mothers to newborns before heel lancing.Methods: This is a double-blind randomized controlled experimental study. The sample consisted of 128 newborns including 64 in the intervention group and 64 in the control group. The Newborn Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale (NCBS) were used to collect the data, along with questionnaires for information on the newborn and mother. The researcher explained to each mother in theory how to do a foot massage at least 2 h before the heel lancing procedure. Mothers then drew random assignments to either an intervention group that would give a foot massage for 3 min with baby oil, or a control group that simply waited 3 min, immediately prior to the lancing.Results: It was determined that the foot massage performed by the mother reduced the pain level of babies, increased their comfort levels, and decreased their distress levels. Conclusion:Nurses play an active role in defining and evaluating the newborn's responses to pain. It is thought that this study will guide nurses working in the clinic in reducing the acute pain that develops with invasive interventions performed on newborns and in preventing the negative effects of pain on the newborn.

“…[21] Moreover, a lot of studies have been conducted on the effects of massage for neonatal pain management in recent years, but the results were either controversial or partially effective. [22][23][24] Therefore, a more comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis is needed to assess the safety and effectiveness of this intervention in the pain management of preterm and full-term infants. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of massage on pain relief and other secondary outcomes (the variation of heart rate, respiration, blood oxygen saturation, crying time, cortisol levels, and adverse events) in premature and full-term infants.…”

The effectiveness of massage interventions on procedural pain in neonates: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Background: The painful procedures experienced by neonates during hospitalization have short-term or long-term effects on neonates. While the limitations of previous interventions make it imperative to explore effective interventions that are readily available. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of massage for pain management in neonates. Methods: This systematic review was registered in PROSPER. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and the Clinical Trials Registry were searched to December 2021. Two reviewers independently carried out study selection, data extraction, bias risk assessment. Continuous data were analyzed by mean differences (MD). Dichotomous data were reported using relative risk. If at least two studies reported identical results by the same pain assessment tool, a meta-analysis was conducted using random effect model and inverse variance. Results: Total 11 included studies involving 755 neonates investigated the effects of massage on neonatal pain response compared to standard care. The meta-analysis showed that massage could effectively improve pain response in neonates compared to standard care no matter whether neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS) or premature infant pain profile (PIPP) was used as an assessment tool. Besides, massage was also effective for crying duration, blood oxygen saturation both during and after the procedure, but non-effective for the variation of respiratory rate after the procedure, and heart rate both during and after the procedure. Conclusions: Massage may have a positive effect on pain relief of neonate, and rigorous trials are needed in the future to determine the most effective massage method.

BackgroundChanges to the wound dressing frequently cause pain. Some adverse side effects of pharmacologic pain management may cause problems or even impede wound healing. There is no systematic study of non‐pharmacologic therapies for pain during wound dressing changes, despite the gradual promotion of non‐pharmacologic pain reduction methods.ObjectivesTo give clinical wound pain management a new direction, locating and assessing non‐pharmacological interventions regarding pain brought on by wound dressing changes are necessary.MethodThe researchers conducted a comprehensive literature review on non‐pharmacological interventions for pain during wound dressing changes across five databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library spanning the period from January 2010 to September 2022. The evaluation of literature and data extraction was carried out independently by two researchers, and in cases of disagreement, a third researcher participated in the deliberation. To assess the risk of bias in the literature, the researchers utilised the Cochrane Handbook for Reviews of Interventions, version 5.1.0.ResultsIn total, 951 people were involved in 11 investigations covering seven non‐pharmacological therapies. For pain triggered by dressing changes, virtual reality (VR) distraction, auditory and visual distractions, foot reflexology, religious and spiritual care, and guided imaging demonstrated partially positive effects, with hypnosis therapy and jaw relaxation perhaps having a weak effect.ConclusionThe key to managing wounds is pain management. According to our review, there is some indication that non‐pharmacologic interventions can help patients feel less discomfort when having their wound dressings changed. However, the evidence supporting this view is weak. It needs to be corroborated by future research studies with multicentre and large samples. To promote and use various non‐pharmacologic interventions in the future, it is also necessary to build standardised and homogenised paths for their implementation.
