Aim: The aim of study is a literary analysis of the current most used non-pharmacological methods of relieving pain in neonates for the best evidence-based practice.

Methods: For obtain data for the period 2000-2012 were used e-licensed and freely accessible database. Evaluation of the evidence found was carried out according to the methodology Fineout-Overholt, Johnston (2005), who put the study according to specific criteria in seven categories. The selection of the present study were classified evidence level I, II, III. Selected criteria met the 42 studies (4 meta-analyzes, 6 systematic reviews, 1 multicenter study and 31 randomized controlled study).

Results: Non-pharmacological methods used to control pain in neonates are much more effective when used in combination with other non-pharmacological methods, such as swaddling, facilitated tucking, multisensory stimulation, kangaroo care and non-nutritive and nutritive sucking.

Conclusion: Non-pharmacological methods are effective and lead to effective pain relief especially when minor procedural performance as the heel lanceting, venipuncture, etc. Treatment of pain and management prevention should be an essential part of the standard and intensive care of the newborn.

Keywords: non-pharmacological methods, damping pain, newborn, evidence based practice
