Treatments tested in this trial

Yakson Touch
Behavioral
Yakson Touch is a non-pharmacological tactile intervention administered to term neonates during phlebotomy to reduce procedural pain and behavioral distress. The intervention is provided during the phlebotomy procedure, with physiological parameters, pain intensity using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), and behavioral responses using the Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS) assessed before, during, and after the procedure.
Dextrose-Sweetened Pacifier
Behavioral
A dextrose-sweetened pacifier is provided to term neonates during phlebotomy as a non-pharmacological intervention for procedural pain management. Physiological parameters, pain intensity using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP), and behavioral responses using the Anderson Behavioral State Scale (ABSS) are assessed before, during, and after the phlebotomy procedure.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Pain Intensity During Phlebotomy (Neonatal Infant Pain Scale [NIPS])

Pain intensity will be assessed using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), a behavioral and physiological pain assessment tool with a total score ranging from 0 to 7, with higher scores indicating greater pain. The mean change from baseline will be compared among the Yakson Touch, Dextrose-Sweetened Pacifier, and Routine Care groups.

Time frame

Baseline (5 minutes immediately prior to venipuncture), intra-procedure (during the blood draw), and post-procedure (1 minute and 5 minutes after needle withdrawal).
