It remains unclear whether "sucrose analgesia" is related
to a pre- or postabsorptive mechanism. In a double blind cross over study sucrose reduced the pain response of preterm infants exposed to
heel prick blood samples only when it was administered into the mouth.
It was ineffective when administered intragastrically.
