Multicentre, randomised controlled trial to investigate the effects of parental touch on relieving acute procedural pain in neonates (Petal) by Eleri Adams, Daniel Crankshaw, Ria Evans Fry, Rebeccah Slater, Caroline Hartley, Maria M Cobo, Fiona Moultrie, Annalisa G V Hauck, Vaneesha Monk, Shellie Robinson, Marianne van der Vaart, Luke Baxter, Ravi Poorun, Aomesh Bhatt

“…Non-pharmacological comfort measures such as breastfeeding, swaddling and sweet solutions are inconsistently implemented and are not always practical or effective in reducing the transmission of noxious input to the brain. Stroking of the skin can activate C-tactile fibres and reduce pain, and therefore could provide a simple and safe parent-led intervention for the management of pain. …”
