Anna Taddio, M.D.[a 1], is a Toronto-based Canadian medical doctor, author, and researcher into pain of infant male circumcision. Taddio carried out her research at the Hospital for Sick Children.

Pain research

Taddio's clinical trials revealed short-term and long-term behaviour changes after neonatal circumcision.[1][2] Taddio et al. (1997) concluded:

Infant analogue of a post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by a traumatic and painful event
Although postsurgical central sensitisation (allodynia and hyperalgesia) can extend to sites of the body distal from the wound, suggesting a supraspinal effect, the long-term consequences of surgery done without anaesthesia are likely to include post-traumatic stress as well as pain. It is, therefore, possible that the greater vaccination response in the infants circumcised without anaesthesia may represent an infant analogue of a post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by a traumatic and painful event and re-experienced under similar circumstances of pain during vaccination.
