Hyperaesthesia, then, is the peculiar state in which the absolute sensibility is increased—the minimum of stimulation needed to excite perception being less than normal. Hyperalgesia is where stimuli which normally cause only a slight sensation give rise to pain in consequence of the lowering of the pain minimum. [The Medical Record, April 1, 1867]

Hyperaesthesia，是一種特殊狀態，其中絕對敏感度增加，激發感知所需的最小刺激低於正常水平。 Hyperalgesia 是指通常只會引起輕微感覺的刺激由於疼痛最小值降低而引起疼痛。[《醫學記錄》，1867年4月1日]
