Studies on neonatal pain have skyrocketed in the last 10 years, according to a PubMed search, but pain treatment is still insufficient despite this high level of research. More than 50 pain scales have been validated and published for newborn infants, but only a few of these are used and not to any great extent (1). In addition, analgesic drugs and strategies continue to increase, but are still underused (1). This shows a gap between the data that academics produce in this field and the measures that clinicians put into practice. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
