Summary: <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Neonates, especially preterm infants, are often subjected to frequent painful procedures during their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit. Repeated painful stimuli in early life are known to result in both short-term and long-term sequelae. These include physiological instability, abnormal somatosensory and stress responses, and effects on long-term neurodevelopment, behavioural and social-emotional outcomes. The management of pain in a neonate is also challenging because neonates are unable to report pain, and it can be particularly difficult to assess pain in the extreme preterm, ill or neurologically compromised neonate. Therefore, it is important that all healthcare professionals who are involved in the care of these infants are aware of how to assess pain and stress, and manage pain appropriately.</span>
