What already is known? ○ Research has demonstrated that not only do newborn infants experience immediate physiological and hormonal responses to pain, but untreated or poorly managed pain is associated with alterations in brain development leading to adverse neurodevelopmental sequelae. ○ There is limited evidence on the optimal approach to managing neonatal post-operative pain to alleviate discomfort, while minimising the unwanted effects of excessive use of analgesics.
