Researchers suggest soothing music could usefully be employed in hospitals around the world for pain relief in babies
that playing lullabies helps to reduce the pain that newborns feel when having heel prick blood tests for serious conditions such as cystic fibrosis and other minor procedures, such as injections.to 54 babies for 20 minutes before, during and for five minutes after the heel prick, while 46 newborns had not music.
In the group that did not listen to the lullaby, the pain scores were seven, 5.5 and two at the same time points, according to the researchers, from the Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Centre in New York. Dr Anbalagnan said future research could investigate whether recordings of a parent’s voice can also reduce pain in newborns during minor procedures, as well as exploring the influence of physical comfort from caregivers, in addition to music, on pain levels.
The pain levels were determined according to the infants’ facial expressions, degree of crying, breathing patterns, limb movements, and levels of alertness.
