Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Several years ago I had a conversation with Leora Kuttner, child clinical psychologist and author of the seminal works The Child in Pain (Kuttner, 1996) and No fears, No Tears: Children Coping with Cancer (Kuttner, 1986). This conversation changed my thinking and the way I speak about what it is that we do as clinicians to help people in pain. During our conversation, Dr. Kuttner challenged my use of the term non-pharmacological when referring to cognitive and behavioural interventions to relieve pain. She said the term indicated a bias towards pharmacological interventions and implied that cognitive and behavioural interventions were inferior. Since that conversation, I have tried to be meticulous in my choice of words when describing interventions to relieve pain in infants and children. Although the language becomes cumbersome at times, I have tried to avoid the term non-pharmacological when I really mean behavioural and environmental interventions. I try to avoid implying that pharmacological interventions are the gold standard for pain relief and that we must choose one kind of intervention over the other. I have argued that environmental and behavioural strategies provide the foundational substrate for neonatal pain management to which pharmacological therapy is additive or synergistic (Franck & Lawhon, 1998).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
