The infants’ relevant medical and pain history was collected up to the day of the study and recorded in an extensive database of variables including clinical condition at birth, diagnoses, medications, previous painful procedures, injuries, and selected maternal information. The dataset includes responses to non-noxious sham and auditory controls. This data is linked to pain-related behaviour (facial expression), physiology (heart rate, oxygenation) and a composite clinical score (Premature Infant Pain Profile, PIPP). Cortical activity was recorded from 112 neonates (29–47 weeks gestational age at study) using a 20-channel electroencephalogram (EEG), which was time-locked to a heel lance. Your child will be continuously monitored throughout the test and these stimulus will be stopped if necessary.We present a dataset of cortical, behavioural, and physiological responses following a single, clinically required noxious stimulus in a neonatal sample. If your child is old enough, they may also ask them to do some tasks during the test, such as close their eyes for short periods of time, take deep breaths by blowing on a windmill (over-breathing) or look at flashing lights (intermittent photic stimulation). At the same time, the digital video recording of your child will be made – this is helpful for the doctor to observe any symptoms, changes in behaviour or movements that could be associated with seizure activity on the recording.ĭuring the test, the CP may ask your child to lie or sit quietly if possible or continue to play. Your child will not feel anything while the EEG is being recorded. The CP will record your child’s brainwaves on to the computer and monitor them on a screen – they look like wiggly lines. The electrodes are attached by wires to a ‘headbox’ and then to the recording machine.

While all the electrodes are being applied, your child can sit on a chair, the bed or your lap, and can play with toys – we have many toys in the department but feel free to bring your child’s own favourite book, toy or comforter. This should take around 20 to 30 minutes. This does not hurt but some children do not like it. Sometimes, additional electrodes may be applied to other areas in order to get more information.Īs each electrode is attached, the CP will clean the area of the scalp with a cotton bud and some cream. Extra electrodes will also be applied on the shoulders to record your child’s heart rate and muscle activity.

Sometimes, they will measure the head beforehand and mark the points with a soft pencil before attaching the electrodes. The CP will attach a number of small silver discs (electrodes) to certain points on your child’s head using a soft paste.
