Intraoperative monitoring of nociception for opioid administration: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

CONCLUSIONS: Nociception monitoring devices seem to have an advantage over standard clinical practice on intraoperative management of analgesia during general anesthesia. Future research should focus on identifying appropriate indicators to objectively assess the degree of pain in children and perform large-scale multicenter trials to prove clinical advantages of nociception measurements during propofol anesthesia.
