Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hypothesis: Breastmilk has a more powerful analgesic effect than oral sucrose to avoid procedural pain in preterm neonates.

The objective is to test this hypothesis in a randomized, controlled study using a standardized and validated pain scale (DAN). The sample size is 21 preterm infants in each two groups. The main end point is a reduction of the risk to have a DAN superior to 1 from 80% with oral sucrose to 40% with breastmilk.
