Laser acupuncture versus oral glucose administration for pain prevention in term neonates: an observer-blinded non-inferiority randomized controlled clinical trial

Future neonatal laser acupuncture studies for pain prevention with higher sample sizes are therefore warranted.PMID:34088224 | DOI:10.1177/09645284211009544
