Background: The aim of the study was to compare and determine Continuous versus intermittent phototherapy in reducing neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Methods: 60 neonates were randomly divided into two groups Group A and Group B. Group A Consist of 30 neonates. Group B consisting 30 neonates. Group A receives continuous phototherapy with on and off for two and half hour. Group B receives intermittent phototherapy for on and off one hour.

Results: In pretest maximum of them were of falling on moderate (46.67%), In posttest maximum of them were with mild level of bilirubin in group A. In pretest maximum of were with moderate (43.33%), in posttest also they were with moderate (43.33%) in group B. The table clearly states that, a group A who continuous phototherapy had significant reduction at level of pain p<0.001 and group B, who had intermittent phototherapy has no effect in posttest.
