Abstract

Neonates, infants and children often require examinations and investigations for admissions in the hospital. Even after admission frequent examinations and procedures will be carried out for further management. Pain during such investigations, treatments and procedures are called as procedural pain.1Appropriate pain relief can be achieved through administration of analgesics. But analgesics can cause different side effects and reaction to the newborns.2 Swaddling is the procedure of wrapping a baby in a blanket for warmth and security.3 swaddling provides stimulation across the proprioceptive, thermal, and tactile sensory systems that may reduce pain through gate control mechanisms.4
