The Calmer Project

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the Calmer is more effective at managing acute pain in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care than the current standard of care in the unit.

Hypothesis: While receiving treatment with Calmer, infants will show lower behavioral pain scores and lower heart rates, and more stable autonomic regulation as measured by heart rate variability indices, than infants given a soother plus facilitated tucking (standard of care) during routine blood collection.

Clinical Trial Description

60 infants will be randomized to either receive the standard of care or the Calmer during a routine blood collection. ;
