Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Infants do not routinely receive acetaminophen for pain control after circumcision. This study will determine if acetaminophen is effective at controlling infant pain after circumcision using nerve block and oral dextrose. Infants will undergo the routine circumcision procedure, and half will be randomly selected to receive half acetaminophen immediately at the end of the procedure. Afterwards, infant's vitals signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation), the neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS), and salivary cortisol levels will be checked in regular intervals up to 4 hours. The NIPS is a validated pain scoring system based on the appearance of the infant. A reduction in NIPS for those infants who receive acetaminophen versus nothing will be the primary outcome to determine if the study is significant.
