Circumcision is a commonly performed procedure on newborn males. Clear recommendations and/or
guidelines for pain control during the procedure do not exist. The purpose of this research
is to compare various forms of analgesia to evaluate which is the more effective for pain
reduction. The investigators hope that this study can provide definitive guidelines on the
best form of analgesia to use during circumcision. It is important that we perform this study
to ensure that in the future newborns' pain during circumcision is effectively managed.
