Brief Summary

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

The project aims to assess the regulatory mechanisms of autonomic nervous system using noninvasive methods in newborns during postnatal adaptation period. Evaluated parameters will include complex analysis of electrodermal activity as a parameter reflecting sympathetic cholinergic system and indices of heart rate variability reflecting the activity of parasympathetic cardiac regulation. The project is focused on the neuro-psycho-physiological characteristics of physiological adaptation in early postnatal age and the effect of non-pharmacological pain relieving.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

Healthy term newborns without pain relief during pain stimulus (intramuscular K vitamin administration and heel lancing for blood spot examination).

Pain stimulus

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pain stimulus - intramuscular K vitamin administration, heel lancing = standard healthcare procedure

Sucrose group

Healthy term newborns with oral application of sucrose during pain stimulus (intramuscular K vitamin administration and heel lancing for blood spot examination).

Pain stimulus

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pain stimulus - intramuscular K vitamin administration, heel lancing = standard healthcare procedure

Non-pharmacological pain relief

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Administration of sucrose/mother milk during pain stimulus

Mother milk group

Healthy term newborns with oral application of mother milk during pain stimulus (intramuscular K vitamin administration and heel lancing for blood spot examination).

Pain stimulus

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Pain stimulus - intramuscular K vitamin administration, heel lancing = standard healthcare procedure

Non-pharmacological pain relief

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Administration of sucrose/mother milk during pain stimulus
