Description
A numbing skin cream could take the sting out of infant vaccinations, and Claudia-Felicia Pop and co-authors gather the trial evidence in this 2024 review. They searched six databases for studies of babies up to twelve months old receiving the cream, a mix of two local anesthetics, before shots, against other care or none.
Fifty studies surfaced, and nine, covering seven hundred and four babies, met the bar for pooling. Babies given the cream scored far lower on pain scales, cried for less time, and took longer to start crying, all signs the numbing worked. Quality checks used a standard bias tool. The authors argue the cream earns a routine place in vaccination visits, since less pain today supports families coming back for the next round of shots.
