(University College London) In stressed newborn babies, behavior alone is not a reliable way of assessing pain, according to new UCL and UCLH research.The study, published today in Current Biology and funded by the Medical Research Council UK, found that hospitalized newborns, who are already stressed by their environment have a much larger pain response in their brain following a routine clinical skin lance than non-stressed babies. But this is not matched by an equivalent increase in their pain behavior.
