There are many non-pharmacological measures to reduce pain. 24% oral sucrose solution is one of the non-pharmacological measure which is effective in reduction of pain among infants under going venepuncture. This study assessed the effectiveness of 24% oral sucrose solution in reduction of pain among infants undergoing painful procedure (Venepuncture). OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of 24% oral sucrose solution in reduction of pain among infants undergoing painful procedure. DESIGN: Post test only with control group design was used. SETTING: Government Head Quarters Hospital, Erode. SAMPLE SIZE: Total Samples selected for the study was 40 (20- experimental group and 20- control group).
