Automatic lancets have been reported to be superior to manual lancets in terms of pain and treatment time. However, no studies have yet been published comparing automatic lancet and needle puncture heel‐prick blood sampling. The objective of this study was to compare the pain response and efficiency between the automatic lancet and needle at the time of heel blood sampling. The design was a randomized controlled trial. The inclusion criteria for the participants were a birthweight of ≧1,500 g and a gestational age of ≧30 weeks.
