Abstract

Even up to a few years ago, it was assumed that neonates were incapable of specific pain perception because the nervous system was not fully developed. For this reason, adequate anaesthetic procedures and satisfactory postoperative anaesthesia were frequently neglected. New research results have led to a thorough revision of these ideas that had been handed down through the ages on pain perception in infants. The basis for pain perception could even be present during fetal life.
