Introduction: Infants are unable to verbalize pain and that is why it might go unnoticed. In the past, It was believed that neonates did not feel pain or that a painful experience would be forgotten as rapidly it has occurred. The present study was conducted with aim to evaluate effectiveness of oral administration of 10% dextrose on level of pain during venipuncture in neonates. Methodology: The present research was done using quantitative approach and quasi-experimental research design The study was conducted among 20 neonates (10 experimental and control) were selected by using non probability convenience sampling method. The samples were comprised of neonates who were admitted in NICU, MG Hospital, Bhilwara. for treatment as well as for observation. Results: The findings revealed that 10% dextrose consistently demonstrates a significant effect on decline the pain level among the neonates analgesic effect for venipuncture and similar minor invasive procedures, direct evidence specifically for IV cannulation at this strength is often extrapolated from venipuncture studies. The efficacy of 10% dextrose for procedural pain is mixed, and 5% dextrose is generally not considered effective for analgesia. Conclusion: While generally safe for oral administration, the review emphasizes the need for more specific research on dextrose's role in IV cannulation pain, distinct from venipuncture, and consistent use of higher effective concentrations.
