Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Is Music therapy or combination of music therapy with sucrose better for pain relief during heel prick procedure when compared with oral sucrose using PIPP score for neonates.[First eight minutes post heel prick procedure]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Is the heart rate more stable in neonates exposed to music therapy as compared to sucrose 24 %. The heart rate will be assessed by continuous video recording of the pulse oximeter, connected to the newborn with saturation probe.[Every 30 second (1/2 minute) time slot assessment for seven minutes after heel prick.];Is the oxygen saturation more stable in neonates exposed to music therapy as compared to sucrose 24 %. The oxygen saturation will be assessed by continuous video recording of the pulse oximeter, connected to the newborn with saturation probe.[Every 30 second (1/2 minute) time slot assessment for seven minutes after heel prick.]
