Our understanding of pain in childhood has made many important advances in the past 15-20 years. Examination of the views of ancient writers, who were concerned about pain and disease in childhood, reveals similar concerns that have dominated the discussions of clinicians and researchers in the twentieth century. The most recent pediatric pain research confirms the position of many writers in previous centuries who believed children and infants are sensitive to pain. Although childhood historians have assumed that pain in children was largely ignored in previous centuries, examination of ancient medical writings reveals ongoing debates about the sources of pain in childhood, symptoms of pain and its treatment. This paper contrasts historical perspectives with the views of twentieth century writers.
在过去的15到20年里，我们对儿童疼痛的理解取得了许多重要进展。审视古代作家对儿童疼痛和疾病的观点，会发现一些相似的关注点，这些关注点在二十世纪主导了临床医生和研究人员的讨论。最新的儿科疼痛研究证实了前几个世纪许多作家的观点，他们认为儿童和婴儿对疼痛敏感。尽管儿童史研究者认为在前几个世纪儿童疼痛在很大程度上被忽视了，但对古代医学著作的审视揭示了关于儿童疼痛的根源、疼痛症状及其治疗方法的持续争论。本文将历史观点与二十世纪作家的观点进行了对比。
