Soft Tissue Therapy in Managing Procedural Pain Among Neonates.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Effect of Soft tissue Therapy in managing Procedural Pain among neonates admitted in neonatal intensive care unit. This study focuses on the Procedural pain management with the help of Soft tissue manipulation which includes various techniques like stroking, petrissage manipulations.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a specialized unit created for sick and premature newborns. There are various painful procedures through which neonates have to undergo during the NICU stay. The most common procedure is the blood tests for the laboratory investigations which include the heel lancing and venipuncture. Pain is the one of the cause of the development of the acute stress in neonates soft tissue therapy has considered as the major contributory factor of in reducing the procedural pain among neonates admitted NICU. There is no documentation on soft tissue therapy in managing procedural pain in neonates. Purpose: To determine the effects of soft tissue therapy in managing procedural pain among neonates admitted in NICU. Methods and materials: The study will recruit neonates who underwent for various painful procedures in NICU such as venous and arterial puncture, capillary puncture, pulmonary mechanical ventilation, tracheal intubation, removal of adhesive tapes, the introduction of various drains etc. Preterm, Term, Full terms Neonates Stable Neonates. The samples will be taken via stratified random sampling technique. Neonates with unstable vitals are to be excluded from the study. Discussion: To best of our knowledge, this will be the first study determining the effects of soft tissue therapy in procedural pain on neonates admitted in NICU. The role of neonatal physiotherapist in NICU is to provide diagnosis and treatment to admitted newborns. Massage therapy is considered as an effective management technique in pain management. In this study soft tissue therapy will be applied to neonates especially in context with procedural pain. There are various painful procedures performed to check the prognosis of neonates.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
