Tactile stimulation significantly reduced pain scores in preterm neonates, showing lower indicators during invasive procedures.
Preterm neonates with tactile stimulation exhibited lower pain scores (3.50) compared to auditory (5.57) and control groups (8.47).
A quasi-experimental design was implemented with 90 preterm neonates split into three groups to assess the impact of different stimulation types.
Findings support routine use of tactile and auditory stimulation to manage pain effectively in NICUs, needing broader replication for generalizability.
