Tiny babies, big breakthrough: new pain scale for preemies

NCT ID NCT07481331

First seen Mar 23, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study aims to create a new pain assessment scale called EDEX for extremely premature infants born before 27 weeks. These babies show pain differently than older preemies, and current tools may not work well. Researchers will compare the new scale with an existing one in 68 infants to see if it better captures their discomfort.
