Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: infants aged 1-12 months administered sucrose or glucose before immunization had moderately reduced incidence and duration of crying.

Reviewers´ commentary: immunization is the most common cause of iatrogenic pain in childhood. The administration of sweet solutions during painful procedures decreases moderately the pain. This also happens in infants who were breastfed before, during and alter the procedure. Both interventions for reducing injection pain should be implemented in inpatient and outpatient settings.
