Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking   Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the efficacy of 10% Dextrose and Expressed breast milk on relieving
procedural pain in neonates assessed by Premature Infant Pain Profile. Score less than 6 is mild and score more than 12 is moderate to severe pain. 
o , 30 , 60 seconds 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Through this research the procedural pain in neonates is being reduced by giving 10% dextrose
and Expressed Breast Milk might decrease the possible neurodevelopmental damage produced due
to pain. This would also help us in formulating protocols for reducing procedural pain in our NICU
in future.

Brief Summary   This is a prospective randomized controlled trial. A sample of 72 neonates between the gestational age of ≥34 to ≤42 weeks will be taken and are randomized into 2 groups by computer generated numbers. After obtaining informed written consent from the parents, neonates will be included in the study. Gestational age is confirmed with modified Ballard scoring. Before 30 seconds of heel prick, One group of neonate is administered 1ml of 10% dextrose by 2ml sterile syringe and other group is administered 1ml of Expressed Breast Milk by 2ml sterile syringe of the respective mother by the principal investigator. With the baby lied on the radiant warmer, It is given per oral drop by drop on the anterior aspect of tongue with the baby in supine position. 30 sec after administration of the dextrose or Expressed Breast Milk, heel prick is done in the lateral aspect of the heel with a gun needle and response to procedural pain is being assessed by Premature Infant Pain Profile score at 0s, 30s, 60s after heel prick. Two independent observers are chosen. Observer 1: An intern will be videotaping the facial and behavioral changes in the neonate i.e. after instillation of the solution to the baby to 60sec after heel prick.
Observer 1: An intern will be videotaping the facial and behavioral changes in the neonate i.e. after instillation of the solution to the baby to 60sec after heel prick. Observer 2: A Post graduate resident shall record HR, SPO2 saturation of the neonate from the multiparameter monitor. Baseline value and at 0s, 30s and 60s after heel prick are noted. Outcome variables are measured by Premature Infant Pain Profile score.8 PIPP is the reliable measure of pain with a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 21. It includes 7 indicators. 2 contextual (Gestational age, Behavioral state) 2 physiological (Change in heart rate, Change in oxygen saturation) 3 behavioral (Brow bulge, Eye squeeze, nasolabial furrow). Scores ranges from 0, +1, +2, +3 for each indicator. In general <6 is minimal pain. >12 is moderate to severe pain. Maximum PIPP score is 21 preterm babies, 18 for term babies.
Calculate the total score by adding subtotal score (physiological + facial indicators) and behavioral score and the efficacy is interpreted. An independent observer will be analyzing the video and will score all the videos in the end to avoid interobserver variation. The observer who interprets the video and records PIPP score, will be blinded on what intervention is given. Subgroup analyses will be done at the end of the study. Scoring instructions for PIPP scoring 1.Observe the baby for 15 sec at rest and asses the vital sign indicator. Highest Heart rate (HR), lowest spo2 saturation and behavioral state. 2. Observe the infant for 0, 30sec ,60 sec following the painful event. Score physiologic and facial changes seen during this time and record immediately 3. Score for corrected Gestational age (GA) and behavioral state (BS) assessment if the subtotal is >0 5. Record full PIPP score. Calculate the score by adding Sub-total score and Behavioral score.
