Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Neonatal analgesia is a recent issue: newborns were supposed to feel no pain until the late "80s; but from that date, many studies were performed to verify the extent of neonates" pain perception, ways to measure and overcome it. Pain can have harmful consequences in babies, due to several causes, and we investigated whether oxidative stress can play a role in this process. Here we resume our findings, that recall to a greater safeguard of babies from unjustified pain.
