| Project Name: PAINFUL PROCEDURES IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT: DOES A FORMAL PROGRAM IN DISTRACTING TECHNIQUES FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN REDUCE PAIN AND ANXIETY IN CHILDREN? | |
| The main purpose of this study is to see if the pain and anxiety that children experience when they have needles can be reduced by watching an instructional video designed to educate parents and children about what is going to happen, to teach coping skills that can be used before and during the procedure, and to provide entertaining video distraction during the procedure. |

| Project Name: PAIN IN CHILD HEALTH, AN INNOVATIVE, INTERNATIONAL,TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH TRAINING CONSORTIUM PHASE II | |
| Pain in Child Health (PICH) is an innovative cross disciplinary research training consortium that originally linked research centres in 5 cities across Canada and created a community of scholars in pediatric pain. |

| Development and initial testing of a Smartphone-based psychological treatment for adolescents and young adults with headache. |

| Project Name: PAIN IN INFANTS AT RISK FOR NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENT (PINI) | |
| Pain in Infants at Risk for Neurological Impairment (PINI) Phase 3: 2009-2012 Pain Response in Extremely Low Gestational Age (ELGA) Infants Although considerable research has been performed to determine the most effective strategies for managing pain in newborn infants, infants who are born the most premature have been infrequently studied. These infants are usually the smallest and sickest, have the largest number of painful procedures, and are at the greatest risk for the consequences of pain and neurological impairment. However, we do not know how best to assess and manage their pain. Considering that interaction between caregivers and infants is integral to understanding pain in these babies, in this program of 3 research studies, we aim to build on research we have previously conducted with more mature newborn infants to determine (a) how health professionals and parents perceive pain in these very premature infants, (b) which are the best indicators of pain and how they change as the infants mature and (c) how feasible and tolerable selected pain management interventions are for relieving pain from procedures. The results of these studies will increase our knowledge of pain and inform clinical practice for decreasing pain and its consequences in these highly vulnerable newborns. |
