Abstract

Pain has always afflicted man and is one of the most important problems of medicine. Despite the discovery of anesthetics and the introduction of steroid and non-steroidal painkillers, the treatment of physical suffering still remains a distant destination, especially in the field of oncology. This book tells the story of pain in western medicine in two volumes, starting from ancient times until the mid-nineteenth century. In addition to providing interesting and interesting etymological insights, this first volume documents the prehistoric, Greek and Roman periods, to arrive at the Middle Ages, with the monastic, Byzantine and Arab medical traditions, and the birth of the Salerno medical school and the first universities. The schools and the main medical figures who have contributed to the knowledge and characterization of pain and its treatment are examined. In particular, greater emphasis was given to strictly physical pain, due to diseases and traumas afflicting the body. The psychic suffering and pain contemplated in the religious and philosophical field has been considered limited to those aspects important for a contextualization of historical and scientific thought. A rich iconography accompanies the text, with the intent of more fully documenting the research carried out. Portraits of characters and images of book frontispieces, ancient manuscripts, medicinal plants, equipment and medical instruments help to better understand the long journey of human progress in the attempt to dominate and defeat physical suffering. The work was conducted by consulting the scientific literature on the subject and numerous original works.
