When the medical records for John Fitzgerald Kennedy were made public, it became clear that the 35th President of the United States suffered greatly from a series of medical illnesses from the time he was a toddler until his assassination in November of 1963. Aside from having Addison disease, no condition seemed to cause him more distress than did his chronic low back pain. A number of surgical procedures to address the presumed structural cause of the pain resulted in little relief and increased disability. Later, a conservative program, including trigger point injections and exercises, provided modest benefit. Herein, the mechanisms underlying his pain are evaluated based on more contemporary pain research. This reconceptualizing of John Fitzgerald Kennedy's pain could serve as a model for other cases where the main cause of the pain is presumed to be located in the periphery.
当约翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪的病历公开时，人们清楚地发现，这位美国第 35 任总统从幼年到 1963 年 11 月遇刺身亡期间，一直深受一系列疾病的折磨。除了患有艾迪生病，似乎没有什么疾病比他的慢性下腰痛更让他痛苦了。许多手术试图解决疼痛的结构性原因，但收效甚微，反而导致了残疾的加重。后来，一个包括触发点注射和锻炼的保守治疗方案提供了适度的益处。在此，根据更现代的疼痛研究来评估他的疼痛的潜在机制。这种对约翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪疼痛的重新概念化，可以作为其他疼痛主要原因被认为位于身体外周的病例的一个模型。
