Intentional and unintentional impacts of anaesthesia:insights from experiments in pain and injury

摘要：The study of brain function in the presence of pain and injury is a rap-idly expanding field of experimental research. Clinically, the presence of pain and injury is often accompanied by reports of behavioural change and altered cognition. Even in a highly controlled environ-ment such as the surgical operating theatre postoperative behavioural changes including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, chronic fatigue, and chronic pain often present in a sub-group of patients (Borsook et al., 2010). The growing recognition of co-morbid be-havioural abnormalities in the presence of pain and injury presents an exciting avenue of experimental research into brain function for scientists. To study the brain in the presence of pain and injury raises ethical questions, in particular with regards to the experimental induc-tion of pain and/or injury. One potential avenue is the use of sponta-neous and/or naturalistic pain and injury models (Klinck et al., 2017), but such an approach presents a number of logistic complexities that could make it difficult and impractical for many investigators.
