Premature babies are more sensitive to pain so that they feel pain more acutely than in infants born to normal. Experts suspect this is due to the intensive care they receive at the hospital.
Feeding through tubes, syringes, and blood tests which must be experienced premature babies makes them more sensitive to pain. For that reason, experts recommend that babies who are in intensive care receive pain medication better.
A number of researchers from University College London to make research to monitor the brain activity of premature infants who are hospitalized for 40 days when they undergo routine blood tests.
Measurement of brain activity using electroencephalogram (EEG) showed premature babies have a stronger brain activity than a healthy baby at the same age when they should be injected and drawn blood. In other words, babies born prematurely are more sensitive to pain.
When both groups of infants received a soft touch in the legs, both show the same brain activity. It shows the sensitivity of the premature infant is more to pain than the usual touch.
"Our results show premature births and intensive care in a hospital affects the brain in the process of feeling pain or pain," said Dr Rebeccah Slater, lead researcher.
Premature babies generally should receive intensive care in a long time. Therefore, the researchers recommend that health workers and doctors noticed the quality of pain management. "Doctors and nurses should ensure that the pain experienced by infants remain a minimum," said Slater
