Pain Management in Neonates

Pain management in neonates involves identifying and alleviating pain to ensure their comfort and safety. Since newborns can experience pain from procedures or medical conditions, healthcare providers use various methods such as gentle handling, specialized techniques, and appropriate medications to minimize discomfort. Careful assessment using observational tools helps determine their pain levels. Effective pain management in neonates is essential for healthy development and can reduce long-term negative effects. The goal is to provide safe, effective relief tailored to each baby's needs, ensuring they remain as comfortable as possible during medical care.
