Abstract

Compelling research supports the newborn infant's capacity for pain. Yet, pain is frequently underestimated and undertreated. This is a result of limited understanding of pain pathway development, immediate and long-term consequences, measurement tools and approaches, and safety and efficacy of pain-relieving interventions. This paper reviews recent research in relation to management of pain in the newborn, and presents implications for practice and future research.
