General description of the NeoOpioid project

This project is designed as a comprehensive study aiming to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety effects of opioid therapy in newborns as well as to determine clinical practices across Europe. The NeoOpioid project will advance the science of neonatal pain and stress, the clinical practice of analgesia, the pharmacokinetic determinants, while documenting current therapies and guidelines and developing a new European standard of care for pain relief in its most vulnerable population.

 

The NeoOpioid project is divided into 6 Work Packages (WP), of which EUROPAIN, the present study, is WP 5.

 

The 6 Work Packages included in the NeoOpioid project are:

 

  1. Management
  2. Dose optimization (morphine and fentanyl)
  3. Safety and clinical effects (morphine and fentanyl)
  4. New child friendly formulation (morphine)
  5. European survey – EUROPAIN Survey (This is the object of this website)
