Summary

This study tested whether a device that tracks heart rate changes (called the Analgesia Nociception Index) can detect pain in 17 children with cerebral palsy. The children were watched during painful procedures like injections and physical therapy. The goal was to see if this tool could help caregivers better understand pain in children who cannot easily speak about it.
