Multimodal Approach to the Ontogenesis of Nociception in Very Preterm and Term Infants
Sponsor: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
Summary
The management of pain related to venipuncture remains insufficient in very preterm infants (VPI. The separation between the mother (father) and her(his) child can aggravate the short-term painful experience of the newborn. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of pain is necessary to preserve the well-being and brain development of VPI. A better understanding of the development of pain pathways and the cortical integration of nociceptive messages is essential to reach this goal.
