Sweet-tasting solutions for needle-related procedural pain in children aged one to 16 years

Too many crying babies: a systematic review of pain management practices during immunizations on YouTube

“…We found that most infants were highly distressed during the injections. This is disappointing given that strong evidence clearly shows the pain-reducing effects of breastfeeding infants [ 18 - 20 , 35 ], sweet solutions [ 17 , 36 ], using nurse/clinician-led distraction and upright holding [ 3 , 22 , 23 ] and given the work that has gone into translating this knowledge to the public and health care profession [ 3 , 37 ]. It is however possible that the pain control measures apparent during vaccinations as seen in the posted videos are not representative of all vaccinations, as the act of videotaping precludes holding the infant, breastfeeding or administering sucrose unless a tripod or third party is available to operate the camera.…”

Be sweet to toddlers during needles: pilot randomized controlled trial of sucrose compared to placebo

“…Only two trials in a Cochrane systematic review of sweet solutions for procedural pain reduction in children included young children up to three years of age and results of these trials were conflicting. 5 Both RCTs evaluated sucrose during immunization. Venipuncture is a more prolonged procedure involving tourniquet placement, needle insertion and adjustment and withdrawal of blood.…”
