    Objective: To compare the application of the NPASS scale vs the PIPP scale in the assessment of neonatal pain. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, longitudinal and analytical study was carried out, evaluating pain in hospitalized neonates using both scales. The population consisted of 30 nursing professionals working in this service, being a census sample. Each participant in this study applied both the NPASS and the PIPP scales to assess pain in the neonate, and then answered the questionnaire of feasibility, clinical usefulness and nurses' preference by Xiao-Zhi Huang according to each scale applied. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: The professionals agree that both scales are easy to use; however, the time for their application is an important factor to take into account. Conclusions: The NPASS scale showed a greater preference over the PIPP scale.
