Abstract		Compared with older children and adults, neonates are more sensitive to pain and vulnerable to its long-term effects. Despite the clinical importance of neonatal pain, current medical practices continue to expose infants to repetitive, acute, or prolonged pain. Experts representing several different countries, professional disciplines, have reached a consensus on clinical practices that were supported by published evidence and drawn up the protocol for prevention and management of pain in neonates. Recognition of the sources of pain and routine assessments of neonatal pain should dictate the avoidance of recurrent painful stimuli and the use of specific environmental, behavioural, and pharmacological interventions for pain prevention and management.
