Summary

This study looks at a new way to measure pain in newborn babies after surgery. Since babies can't tell us they're in pain, doctors currently use checklists and vital signs. The study will test if a skin conductance monitor, which measures stress through the skin, works as well as these standard methods. It will involve 100 newborns in intensive care and also explore if skin-to-skin contact helps with pain.
