'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''', M.D., is a Toronto-based Canadian medical doctor, author, and researcher into [[pain]] of infant male [[circumcision]]. Taddio carried out her research at the [https://www.sickkids.ca/ Hospital for Sick Children].

Taddio et al. (1997) concluded:;
<blockquote>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 <u>infant analogue of a post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by a traumatic and painful event </u> and re-experienced under similar circumstances of pain during vaccination.<ref name="taddio1997" /></blockquote>
