The Calmer Project
Calmer: A Novel Approach for Treating Infant Pain
The purpose of this study is to see if the Calmer is more effective at managing acute pain in preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care than the current standard of care in the unit.
Hypothesis: While receiving treatment with Calmer, infants will show lower behavioral pain scores and lower heart rates, and more stable autonomic regulation as measured by heart rate variability indices, than infants given a soother plus facilitated tucking (standard of care) during routine blood collection.

Active Comparator: Calmer
This therapeutic platform, called the Calmer interacts with the infant to help reduce stress to help promote better outcomes.
It is being tested to see if it mimics Kangaroo care, maternal skin to skin, to help promote better health outcomes.
Infants would be placed on it prior, during and after bloodwork to see if it elicits a favorable response.

Placebo Comparator: Standard Care
