In view of the numerous consequences of this early birth, the sensation of pain is identified with greater intensity, as its inhibitory pathways are not fully developed in PTNB. Many resources have been suggested as promoters of well-being and consequent pain reduction in physical therapy interventions in PTNBs, such as the hot tub. Objective: This integrative review sought to identify the benefits of the hot tub on the well-being of newborns related to pain. Methodology: This integrative review was carried out using current bibliographic references that address the health of the PTNB and the hot tub, as an aquatic physiotherapy technique capable of promoting the well-being and reducing pain of these babies. Conclusion: Based on the consulted literature, it was possible to identify that the hot tub is able to offer PTNB a humanized approach, considered one of the most indicated techniques. It promotes an adaptive improvement to the environment, pain relief, weight gain, decreased heart rate and irritability.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û}, author={Angela do C.
