Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 non-pharmacological methods that will reduce the traumatizing effect of routine heel pricking in infant babies within the scope of the metabolic endocrine screening program. One of the interventions to be used in the study is kinesio taping, a type of taping that does not contain any medication. Another intervention is Shotblocker, which does not belong to any drug or device group.


Clinical Trial Description

Studies on pain indicate that severe pain experienced in the early period of life causes a weakening of the cognitive functions of the infant, especially by shrinking the thalamic volume. Pain management in the neonatal period aims to help the infant cope with pain by relieving it. For effective pain management, it is very important to diagnose and evaluate the baby's response to pain early and accurately within a multidisciplinary team approach, and to select appropriate interventions to alleviate the pain experience. It is stated that nonpharmacological methods in relieving procedural pain strengthen the baby's natural regulation and coping mechanisms when faced with painful intervention and reduce pain and stress. For this reason, this study aimed to determine the effect of kinesiology taping and ShotBlocker applied to the heel during heel blood collection in infant babies on pain, comfort and crying time. ;
