About

Premature babies receiving treatment and care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are exposed to various painful procedures. Repetitive and untreated painful procedures have a negative impact on the physiological, cognitive and behavioral development of the baby.

Various approaches such as white noise, music, lullaby, kangaroo care, breastfeeding, swaddling, massage, and therapeutic positioning are used to reduce the painful processes that newborns are exposed to in the NICU.
