Abstract | Objective: The objective of this review was to determine the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions for pain management during retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening. Methods and analysis: Electronic search of Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Google Scholar and ClinicalTrials.gov (USA) was conducted. Search terms from the research question and inclusion criteria were used to select randomised control trials (RCT) published from January 2000 to May 2023. Relevant data were extracted, and risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool V.2. Critical appraisal and grading of the quality of evidence were done using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool for RCTs and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation, respectively. Results: Twenty-one RCTs were included; 14 used sweet taste, while 7 used modified developmental care, touch or positioning, multisensory stimulation, non-nutritive sucking or music. Six studies on sweet taste and all seven latter studies showed a difference in the pain scores in favour of the interventions. The quality of evidence was however judged low and moderate due to some concerns in the randomisation process, measurement of outcome assessment and selection of reported results domains. Conclusion: The use of gentle touch, nesting, positioning, music, multisensory stimulation and developmental care in reducing pain during ROP screening is promising, however, larger studies designed to eliminate the identified concerns are needed. More evidence is also needed before sweet taste interventions can be recommended in routine practice. |
