Summary:This article provides an overview of environmental and behavioral methods for pain management in newborn infants. Specific interventions in the areas of containing, positioning, nonpainful sensory stimuli, non-nutritive sucking, sucrose, and procedural technique are discussed.

Opportunities for further research to evaluate the comparative efficacy of environmental and behavioral pain interventions are emphasized.
