| Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) | Two months | The Premature Infant Pain Profile-Revised (PIPP-R) measures the intensity of pain that the preterm infants experience in NICU through infant indicators (change in heart rate from baseline, decrease in oxygen saturation from baseline, browse bulge, eye squeeze, and naso-labial furrow. It also includes gestational age and behavioral state. |
