Clinical Trial Summary

Efficacy of Expressed Breast Milk Alone or in Combination with Paracetamol in Reducing Pain during ROP Screening.


Clinical Trial Description

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) has been widely acknowledged to be the primary cause of preventable childhood blindness in developing countries. However, the procedure for screening is extremely painful. In this study, we will attempt to relieve the pain experienced by these babies using breast milk alone or in combination with oral paracetamol. This randomized control trial study will be conducted with the aim to assess the efficacy of Expressed Breast Milk Alone or in Combination with Paracetamol in Reducing Pain during ROP Screening. All preterm neonate who undergone ROP screening will be the study population. A total of 60 preterm neonates will be randomized into three groups: (Group A - control group = 20, Group B - breast milk group = 20, and Group C - oral paracetamol + breast milk = 20). Group A will get current care as per institutional protocol, Group B received 2 ml expressed breast milk (EBM) through a sterile syringe orally 2 min prior to procedure, Group C received syrup paracetamol, 15 mg/kg 30 min prior to procedure and EBM as in Group B. Pain experienced was measured by the premature infant pain profile (PIPP) score 20 s prior, during and 2 min after procedure. All procedures were video recorded. The Ophthalmologist and analyzer both will be blinded to the intervention. Results will be incorporated after enrollment ;
