Abstract

BACKGROUND: Infants are unable to self-report their pain, which, therefore, often goes underrecognized and undertreated. Adequate assessment of pain, including procedural pain, which has short- and long-term consequences, is critical for its management. The introduction of mobile health-based (mHealth) pain assessment tools could address current challenges and is an area requiring further research.
