NCT ID NCT02364856
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a heart-rate based index (ANI) can detect pain in 17 children with cerebral palsy during injections and physical therapy. Researchers measured heart rate changes before and after painful procedures and compared them to standard pain scores. The goal was to find a more objective way to assess pain in children who may have trouble communicating.
