Summary

The development of tools for assessment and management of pain in newborns and children is a high priority and represents a significant unmet need. The inadequate treatment of pain and the overuse of analgesics can cause harmful consequences for neonates, infants, and children. To accomplish successful pain management in children one must first objectively assess pain. Thus, to address these critical issues with pain management, the Human Algometer and methods are under development by Drs. Julia Finkel and Zena Quezado, Pain Medicine Program (SZI) at Children's National Medical Center.
