After decades of healthcare providers not recognizing infants’ capacity to feel and remember pain, current evidence supports that repeated exposure to untreated pain in early life contributes to immediate and long-term changes in later pain sensitivity and immunity in all infants as well as alteration in stress regulation, brain development and epigenetic programming in very preterm infants, after accounting for associated clinical confounders. Despite the adverse effects of exposure to pain in early life, most infants continue to receive sub optimal pain care. Learn more about current best evidence regarding the assessment and management of pain in neonates, shared decision making and the role of parents, and recommendations for optimal pain care.
